Gnome-terminal problems in RH 6.1



I just upgraded to RedHat 6.1 last night and am now sorting through the
various bugs that it has introduced!  This message is a bit long...

The Gnome related (at least I think it is) problem I'm having deals with
gnome-terminal and session saving.  I have Gnome set up to automatically
save the session when I logout.  If I leave some gnome-terminals open,
and then logout, when I log in, the terminal windows pop back up, seem
to function, but they have no title on the window title bar.  Then down
on the panel, I have a box labelled "???" for each terminal that was
left open.  Opening a new terminal opens a new window that does have
"Terminal" in the title bar and produces a box on the panel called
"Terminal" as expected.  I tried having Electric Eyes open when I logged
out and when I logged back in, it behaved correctly, but the terminals
were screwed up.

I know that RH 6.1 doesn't have the October Gnome and I'm planning on
downloading / installing that today, but I just wondered if anyone has
seen this yet and knew what's causing it.  I can provide more info if
needed.

Also, a non-gnome related problem I'm having is with my sound card.  I
apologize in advance that this isn't gnome, but I'm hoping to get
lucky!  I have a Sound Blaster Live! card.  Although RedHat claims this
card isn't supported, I was able to get it work under RH 6.0.  Under
6.0, I downloaded the beta driver from Creative Labs, tried to install
it the way they wanted, but I didn't have the same kernel version that
they compiled it under (it's a module).  My brother in law (who knows a
bit more about Linux than I do) told me to put some command (think it
was something like 'insmod -f sblive' or maybe 'modprobe sblive')
somewhere and that got it to work.  Unfortunately, I can't remember what
the actual command was, or where we put it.  Any ideas?  Also, I have a
dual processor motherboard, and Creative Labs says the driver won't work
under an SMP kernel.  Does this make sense?  I think the RH 6.1 install
put an SMP kernel back into lilo, so maybe that is the problem?

Thanks in advance
Sean
