Keyboard Rate problem - float vs. int

[Steve Song <ssong idrc ca>]

Greetings,

I hope someone can help me.  I recently upgraded my IBM X30 laptop from
RH9 to Fedora 1.0.  The upgrade from Gnome 2.2 to 2.4 seems to have
created some anomalies that I can't fix.  In particular:

When I try to change the keyboard rate, I get:

Type mismatch:  Expected `int' got `float' for key
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/delay

I have tried editing the appropriate file in the ~/.gconf directory.
I've tried using the Gconf editor.  Also, looked in /etc/gconf. No
luck.  Obviously I don't understand Gconf well.  Any illumination would
be very welcome.

Also, I can't seem to produce a Window List in the menu bar.  Window
Menu works fine but not Window List.  Finally, Alt Tab as an application
switcher has stopped working.  I realise some of these may go beyond
gconf but any help would be gratefully received.

TIA... Steve
