This worked perfectly! Thank you! Ok.. Except one niggly little thing.. And I realize I'm really nitpicking here. In my mind things are working; but I thought I would mention it in case there is a simple solution. When I have desktop effects enabled, there are no window controls drawn after I add the 'Virtual 3200 1600'. If I disable the desktop effects, I cannot enable them with the line added. Might there be a solution to this? On Tue, 20 May 2008 14:42:47 +0200, Kai-Thorsten Hambrecht <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> out there has a T42 with Fedora?
