Thanks Tom, that sorted it out. And its real handy having the cursor disappear when reading mail, docs, etc. Great little app! Yes, I hadn't selected 'development' options during LM install so I'll give the 'upgrade' a go. When doing an upgrade: 1. do I have to reselect all the same software packages or will the currently installed packages stay put? 2. will I have to reconfigure hardware settings (like reinstall the closed source nvidia drivers)? Not that it really matters I s'pose. I can always do a clean install if things don't work out. Thanks again Tom. skinky -- But what ... is it good for?
