I'm a > little worried about this. I have conversed with Michael Meeks and Mark McLoughlin about this problem. They agree that this is a bug in either the 2.5 kernel or in ORBit 1.x. ORBit interacts with the kernel at a pretty low level in some places. Neither Michael or Mark have time to look into this problem at the moment, since they are both busily working on the Gnome 2.0 release and neither of them have a test machine with the 2.5 kernel installed. So, you and I will just have to be patient. Eventually, this will get tracked down and fixed. Best wishes, Miles
