[....] I should have mentioned that this screen arises on at least three machines, running F17 fully updated, built for me by two different alpha technoids, years apart. I suppose it could still be a cooling problem, because I do much the same things on two of them; but my spouse uses the third very differently. (I have a couple more F17 machines, but use them less, and one currently has an (I think) unrelated problem.) -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
