Yesterday was the first time I did not get any crashes in the series of
things I normally "click through" as you say - so there has certainly
been a lot of fixes recently. One good thing is that my GB keyboard is now
recognised after the evdev removal. I did have to add two lines to xorg.conf
to get the touchpad to work - but this is documented in bz. I guess that
this will be fixed at some point so that the necessary xorg.conf is
auto-generated.

I have not used snake - perhaps I should look into that!
