The only time I do that, is when I can offer enough details to provide
a reproducable problme. Saying "My system broke" is not a useful bug
report.

My point is that Gnome 1.4 (the stable version) should be beyond this
type of behavior. If I were runing 2.0 that would be a different mater
entirly.

But i have choosen to run the "stable" version in order to actually
get work done.
