Simon, there are definitely bugs happening with mine. It's possible that I should just bite the bullet and re-install the bastard thing yet again. At the same time, I'm wondering if I should just blunder on and wait for the next upgrade which surely must be on the way. Plenty of other people are experiencing the same bugs so hopefully someone will fix it.
I guess this is what happens when you use free software
Walrus, that train story is very amusing.
