is so, then shame on me, I must have missed that announcement too.
I'm really in two minds about posting this, because the above is so
aggravating and whiny. Getting on a soap-box and complaining about the
other list users (i.e. me and us) seems to imply that it's somehow
everyone else's responsibility to fix your problem for you.
However, I'm wondering if the original suggestion to search the find
archives might have antagonised you less if it had been phrased
differently. Mention of "the KDE upgrade before that, and the libxcb
thing, xorg-1.6, and dbus/hal" only seem to have confused matters;
"hashed to death" may be an exaggeration, as I can only (immediately)
find the one thread.
Perhaps if Alan had asked "did you read last week's thread on this
subject?" you might have gone and found:
