    Following an upgrade to the latest ulb-gnome packages (on 3 October) i have to say that it is generally running smoothly, with the only problem being the theme-manager which crashes each time I use it. Evolution pilot is syncing quite happily with my Palm 505, though perhaps one in ten times, it crashes for no apparent reason.I haven't tried to use B&H Lucida but otherwise no font issues. I'll have a look when I get home.
    "Computer" displays all my drives except the external usb, even if mounted.

    So, I wonder what the problem is?
