Oh, I see.  I did the second one from memory.  At least this time it
worked out for the best.  :-o

I have nice set to 5.  KDE runs at 0 so it should be OK.  All this
started when I upgraded xorg.  I did create a new config file though.  I
also tried the old one just to test it.  I couldn't tell any difference
at all.

I may have to try that when emege -ev world gets done.  It has 480 to go
yet and most of KDE has not been done.  Maybe something got lost in the
shuffle somewhere.

If you think of something else, let me know.  If I find anything out
I'll post it too.

Thanks
