Thanks for the info. I'll put it in my tips sheet.

Tks. I'll be patient and just follow along. I don't know enough to make any bug
reports.
Maybe someone can start a Gnome news group for us newbies to ask our foolish
questions? The German one doesn't like english speaking people. :(
There's lots of stuff not working right, but I'm not sure if it Gnome related
or not. Maybe it's just my setup. I've added KDE. The mouse action is not as
ragged and things seem to go faster and smoother than Gnome. Still not as fast
as win95 on my P133 w/24meg though.
