[e-users] problems with e16.6-pre6

[Didier C. <did...@sp...>]

Hi Kim,
       I downloaded the RH9 rpm on SF.net an installed it on my pc
removing the old e16.5-1 that I have. 

1. Unfortunately I found out that it's terribly unstable: It hanged my pc
twice in the middle of work. I couldn't even press the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
button to log out. I had to press the reboot button as a last resort

2. It doesn't detect my GNOME and KDE menus fully unlike the
MenuConvert_SystemToE program.

3. When I installed the same themes I used to install in my older version,
the virtual desktop box (the one on the bottom left) disappeared, which
normally do not happen in the previous version.


So conclusion, I uninstalled it and put back my old e0.16.5-1 packags by
Guru Labs and everything got back to normal.

Any ideas what could be wrong? Did anybody tried it on RH9 before and
had these problems/ or did not have anything like it? 

Btw I'm using RH9
kernel 2.4.20-8 on an i386 platform. Thanks and sorry to announce bad
news!


regards,

Didier
