23 I run stable on most things, especially system packages, but run
24 unstable on most desktop type packages.  Since I run unstable on KDE, I
25 run unstable on them all unless one has a problem and I need to go back
26 to a working package.

44 Trying a different/new user will give the same results.  Renaming the
45 config files to .old or something then testing will allow you to go back
46 if it doesn't help.  You just rename and remove .old.  Just delete the
47 new one first.  Still, either way will work.  I have a dale2 user just
48 for that purpose I might add.

50 Given everything is there, I'm not sure what to try next.  I was hoping
51 someone else would have a idea.
