Thing is, this happens with Squeeze onwards, not in Lenny backwards. I also notice a bit of sluggish desktop performance in Squeeze compared to Lenny. I associated the cursor behavior with it. I have dual boot of both, same set of apps, so I can evaluate a little bit. Sometimes cursor disappears for good of a second, I have to double click icons once, twice, sometimes even thrice, before a folder opens up, mounted cdrom opens, etc. Not sure, so far Lenny outperforms Squeeze at least on my hardware. -- Tomas Kral <thomas.k...@email.cz> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
