YES!  t.y.  do you, or anybody else know how to get rid of
the (*%##$#!@#) red lines and that greyish grab-hold-slider 
that shows up when i move my mouse cursor down there?  i admit
to being Slow, but the damn thing fades awsay most of the time 
before i can grab hold of it.  [[FWIW,I'm running ubuntu 11.10;
so it =may= be that the red bar+grey/silver slider is something 
that =I= have to adjust ]]
