I did try downgrading xorg-x11-server (and all its little friends) to the 6.3 versions, but that did not fix the problem. I've also tried rebuilding the xview set from the src rpm, but I wasn't able to get it to build in the not-too-long while that I spent on it yesterday. On the bright-ish side, my sup is kind of saying: we were planning to go this route eventually, maybe we just do it now. I just wish it had been on ~my~ schedule! Thankfully I don't have ~too~ many accounts to revamp and people to educate on the 'new' desktops. Thanks! Miranda
