	Yes! And I run Gnome. Do you use a KVM switch??

	In fact, I'm seeing it for at least the third time. With a 
difference.

	In my case, this time as before, it has something to do with my 
USB KVM switch. There have been several bugs reported to Redhat Bugzilla.

	I haven't reported yet, because I'm still testing what worked 
last time and the time before: shut all machines down; pull one out from 
behind the switch, connect it to the peripherals directly, and put it 
through its paces, at length; repeat with each machine (I'm on the second 
of three); then put them all back behind the switch. Tedious and 
tiresome, but it has worked here twice, and seems to be working again.

	If you *don't* have a KVM switch, I'm afraid I have no clue.

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