Leslie, It was the 64-bit Fedora17 LXDE spin. Most of the issues I had seem to me to be with LXDE *as implemented by* Fedora. It was my first go with both Fedora and with LXDE, so it is hard for me to separate out responsibility. That the audio player the F17 LXDE spin shipped crashed every time you touched the GUI, is, in my view, a sign that the Fedora LXDE spin wasn't adequately massaged before shipping. As in: I think that this problem can be laid at the feet of the Fedora LXDE spin team. It is not entirely unexpected; spins with minority desktops do seem to suffer from insufficient love in more than one distro. I do concede that I was changing too many variables at once (new distro and new desktop) in order to really be doing a proper test of the system. I'm soon to acquire some new old hardware to use as a test box. I'll likely give Fedora another go then.
