Thanks for the quick response.

OK, I'll wait till after KS to do more on my wife's box. It is currently
useable, and I hate to make it worse and leave her computer in a broken
state ;)


It's running Fedora 14, and I rather avoid Gnome3 and systemd, which
prevents me from moving her to Fedora 15. If F14 does not provide the
necessary updates, I'll move her over to a Debian system.

Thanks!
