Hey Brian. In the Dept of Lousy Coincidences, this morning I did a fresh install of build 130 on my netbook. I'm seeing the very same problems as Rich. Before, when the netbook was progressively updated, build 130 was fine. So.... Mind if I play? :-)

When I try this, I just see the errors from the top of .xsession-errors, the last one being: (nautilus:839): Gtk-WARNING **: About JDS: missing action About JDS > Does this point you towards anything useful that highlights what the > problem may be? Given that this machine used to be fine running build 130, I'm guessing it's not power manager.(??) I'll look at codeina-related errors unless you spot something else. Thanks! Take care. --joanie
