Hi Stephan,
We appreciate your nit picks.

Is the tweek something that could be made into an SL_ or is it something 
that might not be a good idea to be permanant?

I have a machine that did something very similar with the graphics.  We 
need to look and see if it's just us, or if TUV and CentOS have the same 
problem with the same machines.  Otherwise, I think we're going to get a 
lot of users complaining.
Well ... we might get alot of users complaining, but at least we'll be 
in the same boat as others.
And if they aren't having the problem, we need to figure out what we did.
