Yeah, does anybody know why red-carpet runs fine on Redhat 7.x but have
to be run as root on 8.0?  And why did Evolution-1.3 (which presumably
also runs fine on 7.x) freeze on my machine after teasing me with the
startup screen?

Sorry if this is a bit offtopic but - I've upgraded all of my
workstations and test servers to 8.0 months ago and I'm paying good
premium channel money to Ximian every month for the pleasure of
downloading...nothing except the security patches Ximian grabs from
Up2Date.
