Hello friends,
This is already bothering me for a while, but I never really
cared. But now I just want it fixed.

and GLX drivers, I'm _not_ using the newest ones, because I
heard that there are problems with them.
When I start X with
I'm currently running potato with the unofficial Xfree 4.03 debs
available from cpbotha. I'm running Ximian GNOME 1.4. It's the most
