Perhaps, but that's something we should measure and see if it's worth it. Thanks for the scripts; do you know offhand if these result in the session being registered properly in utmp? That's critical for NWAM to function, and it wasn't quite right with the first set of Gnome packages. Result there is that wireless never works because NWAM doesn't think it has a session it can use to communicate with the user. Dave
