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! -- Steve
