Seems to fix the problem, or at least, after installing them on my home
machine, my home machine sprouts a gnome-ized linuxconf after installing
them; I'll try this on my laptop tomorrow.

Thanks for the tip; I had missed the note about yet newer RPM's, due
to the LCS 35 celebration (had the experience of being introduced to
Bill Gates Monday night; I'll say this for the guy, he's willing to
poke fun at himself.  His keynote address had a video tape of him and
Ballmers doing really strange stuff).

In any case, I just wanted to also say that Gnome is showing real promise
now; it gets more and more stable as the days go by and freasher
bits appear, and the UI is continuing to improve.

Keep up the good work!
