sounds like somebody doesn't know not to use the power button to shutdown.
It's not so hard to wind up with a different windowmanager, just alter the
hostname and/or display if you've been useing switchdesk.

Anyone else seeing things like this?

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not. Since I'm new to Linux, it
certainly confused me. I spent a good part of yesterday installing beta
7 and for the most part, impressed with the ease of getting everything
setup. This morning I booted Linux and Kudzu came up saying that my
configuration had changed. (?) Ok, the scanner was turned off so I told
it to KEEP CONFIGURATION. When XServer started, all my stettings were
gone. No Gnome. Just KDE and Failsafe. There was no shutdown. When I
started KDE my desktop theme was different. None of the software that I
installed was there. I'm really confused.

Could it be the IP address? I have it setup as LAN, but it is really my
cable modem which worked great last night. I'm not sure if I have a
fixed IP or not. I've never noticed. I'd like to have everything back
because I spent hours getting my scanner to work. Thanks
