Just a quick addendum. It works perfectly _provided_ you have display compositing turned off. I.E. no compiz. There is an option in Kubuntu-8.10 to do this: System Settings -> Desktop -> Enable Desktop Effects. Make sure the button is off to turn off compiz. Once I did that everything worked perfectly. -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell
