[ltp] please help: redhat 7.1 on TP 600X

[linux-thinkpad@www.bm-soft.com]

Gnome seems safer, more stable but with less features and kewl stuff.
Some people like it that way.. like one the few Perth based RHCE's I know.. he
likes the functionality and the stability, but thats no good for us guys trying
to use Mandrake as the Methadone for our horrid windows habits...

Is gnome really that much better than KDE?   I am running RH 7.0 and did not
even bother to load Gnome as I was used to KDE.  What is the difference?

That seems to be the only option for left for me as well... I just
installed gnome, and it's been working fine without any problem.

In the meantime, if you go to the KDE bug report site and search for
"mouse hang", you will see that these problems have been reported,
especially on laptops including TP 600E. See:

http://bugs.kde.org/db/24/24650.html
http://bugs.kde.org/db/20/20825.html
http://bugs.kde.org/db/13/13588.html

Hope it will be fixed soon... I was beginning to like KDE.
