Interestingly, when I booted up after install, I was able to use DrakConf to
configure the printer. However, it did not properly detect my printer. I
have a USB connected HP DeskJet 940c.  I had to manually specify a USB #0
printer, but other than that, the configuration and testing worked fine.  I
seem to remember this printer being detected in earlier MDK versions....

It's interesting, sometimes it looks totally fine. For example, if I switch
to VT 1-6 from KDM, and then back to VT 7/KDM, KDM looks totally fine.
There are varying degrees of ugliness, from KDM login window totally absent,
to multi-colored, to totally fine.

The next time it comes up, I"ll generate a BugBuddy report and send it off
to the GNOME folks; would you like a copy of the debugging info as well?

This has been addressed by several people already. Basically it comes down
to two things: 1) detecting/activating/recognizing Airport properly (which
is PPC-specific) and making the networking configuration a bit more new-user
friendly (which is more general).
