It upgraded flawlessly and seems to be stable. No hang no keyboard lock-up which I could induce in RH7.3 by clicking on Blank Screen Now in xscreensaver-demo or when the display at set time would change. If I recall correctly I tried to install the xsceensaver of RH7.1 in Rh7.3 and it would lock-up as well, however, I am not so sure anymore if it did install at all. So the problem does not semm to be with the particular programs it must be most likely within the kernel of RH7.3.
