Gnome 3 looks great but it is unusable running in VBox vm.
KDE runs okay but I've had lock-ups with firefox 4 running and odd window/mouse 
behaviour.
 
Also a Krb5 dialogue keeps popping up saying my credentials have expired with 
some reference to "EXAMPLE.COM".

What a surprise when I switched to run level 3 and inittab was gone! Systemd is 
sending a lot of information to the console but /var/log/dmesg and messages 
aren't written to at all.
