For the moment the upgrade seems to have fixed the Xserver going berzerk,
I'll keep you posted.
Although I must say it's kind of weird that you need to install rpm's not
even officially released for a distro in order to get a stable running
program. For me this is not a problem to do, but I'm guessing that
unexperienced linux users could get scared away by this.
For the rest: I'm still loving this program, keep up to good work!
