	I did that much, with one small wrinkle from the bugzilla : I let 
each finish booting before the next. Unexpectedly, all let me log in, and 
run my accustomed apps.

	What's more, once they were all up, I could (and still can) 
switch among them at will again.

	So it must be a different bug, right?

	The present situation is just like the one, several releases 
back, after installing or updating a release. Each machine had to have a 
direct connection, free of the KVM switch, to autoconfigure X.

	This has *not* been the case for the last half dozen or so 
releases -- the machines got whatever they needed *through* not only this 
KVM switch, but at least one before it. So I could install or upgrade on 
one while still using the others normally.

	If some kindly developer can restore that situation, it would 
save a lot of hassle.

I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
