All.

  Some problems with 9.0 

1.  On a total of 6 different boxes whenever the cursor is over the
"open" areas of the desktop.  I always get a clock Icon. As soon as it
goes back over an application it seems to work just fine.  Annoying but
not problematic.

2.  In 1024x768 mode you can't have 1 background per desktop in kde
(havent tested the others you'll see why in a sec.).  Larger modes the
background will refresh but in 1024x768 it won't .(Most noticeable on my
laptop since thats the largest it will do) Smaller has the same
problems. 

3.  I can't use anything but kde! on my laptop. and desktops.  Oh I can
log into by favorite ... WindowMaker.  but it can't load the mandrake
menu system.... doesn't do much good to have a desktop without a menu.
Gnome has trouble saving to the home directory some of the settings and
it seems to be breeding Icons as well. xcfe and fvmm also have problems
loading the mandrake menu.

4.  On my laptop only (Compaq Armada M700 with a Lynksis 10/100
Etherfast PCMCIA Nic) the ssh connections are slow as molasys.  Web
surfing ftp etc happens at normal speed. (even over the net, on cable
here) but when ssh'd into a server on my LAN or any of a number of other
ones I've been on it's like packets get transmitted in bursts. Then for
a few seconds it's normal then back to the slowdown.

Thoughts .... questions..... pointed fingers and hysterical laughter? :)
