Big Problems with Session Manager ??

[William Case]

Hi Phil and Dave;

I will prepare a detailed bug report to both Fedora and Gnome during the
holidays.

You're right.  I forgot about the battles I had with FC5.  I got
something kinda working and left it at that.

I'll include part of both your comments, if that is alright with you.

P.S.  I have been storing up a list of several other annoyances for
other standard programs and applets.  I will be putting them on the
Fedora site over the long weekend.  If you agree, give me a short
response please so that I know it is not just me screwing up and I'll
send off bug reports in all the appropriate directions.  I will check
the bugzilla lists thoroughly before sending new bugs.
