Seems it's not being delt with (yet). Anoying indeed. I my writing gives you the impression I am unhappy or worse with the vermillion work, than I'm sorry, but that was/is not my intention. I'm very well aware of the DEV quality and what to expect. I'm also very pleased with the work being done -AND- the way people respond to messages and all. > Instead, it is intended for users who want a bleeding edge desktop, > and who don't mind the occasional inconveniences associated with > using it.

In general I'm very happy with the latest SXCE editions. They seem to be more 'stable' on the desktop. > The OpenSolaris Desktop team and community works to fix these sorts of > bugs as we notice them, but it is not uncommon for such bugs to take a > few builds to fix. ans this explains it for me. I have the worng POV on fixing bugs. I always thought that what does not work now will work in the -next- realease. Th?t is wrong. It takes a couple of releases. All in all I do appreciate your extended answer. I will be a little less critical. Also try to bear in mind that my native language is Dutch, so I will not always express myself in the 'right way'. -- Dick Hoogendijk -- PGP/GnuPG key: 01D2433D ++ http://nagual.nl/ + SunOS sxce snv91 ++
