[expert] Strange gnome Quirks with 8.0 beta 3

[Adam Clater]

I just updated my machine at home from lm7.2 to the 8.0 beta 3. (Boot
from cd, select upgrade, select almost all packages, etc.) and now in
Gnome and only gnome, the letters "g" and "r" do not work.  I updated
gnome-core and gnome-libs this morning from cooker, but still no luck.
Any ideas?  I'm going to try with a different user ID tonight, see if
it's possibly (i doubt) an enviornment issue.  Until then, i'm forced to
use KDE (personal yuck!)

Any ideas??
