Wait a minute.  I didn't change anything, as far as I know, and now it's 
working.  WTF???  I love it when this happens.  It's so much easier that 
having to fix it yourself.

Even my email to the list wasn't getting through last night.  I thought 
I may have sent it to the wrong mail list again, I've done that before, 
so I sent it again.  Now that's working too.  That would explain why 
that are two copies of the email on the list.  Way cool.

VirtualBox, that I installed last night, wasn't working right either, 
but I'm not surprised at that.  I haven't tried it tonight but I expect 
that it still won't work.  The trouble shooting guide said I would find 
a clue in the log file but there was nothing there.  It appears that it 
runs just fine, according to the log file, until it crashes.

Some time ago I wrote to ask about who was maintaining the Stellarium 
RPM file.  I solved the problem with that by downloading the source and 
building it myself.  Thanks again to the list for helping me contact the 
file maintainer.
