15 Oh, I see. I did the second one from memory. At least this time it

61 I have nice set to 5. KDE runs at 0 so it should be OK. All this
62 started when I upgraded xorg. I did create a new config file though. I
63 also tried the old one just to test it. I couldn't tell any difference
64 at all.

84 I may have to try that when emege -ev world gets done. It has 480 to go
85 yet and most of KDE has not been done. Maybe something got lost in the
86 shuffle somewhere.
87
88 If you think of something else, let me know. If I find anything out
89 I'll post it too.
