Harry,

My time spent running 1.1 so far has been quite limited, so I don't really have much info on
this. Can't rule out some problem, for example. But I would note that there are some new
features to get used to. I haven't really gotten the hang of that 6 compartment lavender
doohicky yet at the lower left. (Part of Xworkplace ?) It can reposition various things,
perhaps inadvertently, and apparently has something to do with the built-in virtual desktops
capability. I will need to get comfortable with this (or else dispense with it), before I can
get more at ease with the look, feel, and operation of 1.1.

My guess is that it's not truly or permanently gone.

My intuition says 'Has To Be' . . . but I couldn't i.d. it for you.
