Same here. As mentioned in the original message, I can use the mouse to open a new window under firefox. The new window will accept keyboard input, the old one won't. It's almost as if it's deadlocking on input. Reminder: my final question was how do I go about debugging this problem?. Does

From: Stefan Sperling [EMAIL PROTECTED] What are admins supposed to do on systems with more than, say, a hundred users. Having to add a line to /etc/fstab for every user is of course scriptable, but that does not make it less insane. Would it make sense to be able to specify a group in fstab?
