It looks like a program is running in the background and stealing your focus, could you try creating a fresh new user on your system: does it suffer of the same problem? Could you check whether this happens after adding a particular applet or running a particular program in your session? Bye, -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
