Hello All
Sorry for that post. The problem got fixed by a restart.
I failed to follow the unwritten rule of "non-Linux computers" :-) When in
doubt---restart
After a restart I tried pymol with a new user profile and it worked very
smoothly
I tried back with my migrated original account ...and the buttery smooth
rotation returned....Phew :-)
Sorry for the confusion
Thanks
Hari
