A good thought! I'm out of time today, but I'll give that a try as soon
as I get a couple of hours. I normally do custom layouts anyway, but for
this I just wanted to get it up so I could move my activities from a
CentOS 5.x and put 6 on that node too.

So doing a manual formatting and layout won't add a lot to what I've
tried already.
