Well, I updated to the latest rawhide. The problem is still
there, but it seems if it happens less frequently. Out of the
last 5 times I did suspend to ram ("echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep")
the only once.

FC3T2: Remote X11 connections not working over SSH
by Daryl Herzmann
Howdy,
I upgraded my laptop from FC1 to FC3T2 and can't seem to get remote X11
connections to work over SSH. The remote machines are RHEL WS3 boxen.
mylaptop$ ssh -X remotehost
remotehost$ echo $DISPLAY
localhost:16.0
remotehost$ xclock # We just hang here
<cntrl-c>
remotehost$ logout
mylaptop$ xhost +remotehost
mylaptop$ ssh remotehost
remotehost$ setenv DISPLAY mylaptop:0
remotehost$ xclock # Yeah!, I see xclock on my desktop
Sooooooo, what the devil am I doing wrong? I have been using SSH-X11
connections for 7 some years now, so I don't think I am doing anything
newbie ish? (perhaps I am! :) )
thanks,
daryl

I see a religious battle a brewin' :-)
and IMHO, there are too few things in Gnome that you can configure. :-(
but thats my opinion, and it might not be yours... thats OK.
But like I said... its a religious battle based on personal
taste. And if you don't care about this... or that... then
pick what you like and use it. You can't teach an old dog new
tricks, and you can't (or at least not without a lot of pain)
get a user to switch 'xxx' (apps, window managers, desktop managers,
editors, etc.)

xinitrc 4.0.11-1 is available for testing, which fixes all known and unknown bugs
by Mike A. Harris
The xinitrc package has underwent a fair number of changes in the
last couple of weeks, as I've passed through all open bug reports
against it in bugzilla.
Downside:
- While fixing everything, and cleaning up the package,
I introduced a couple of minor but fatal bugs, which pretty much
everyone, their brother, their dog, and their insurance salesman
will get hit by.
- People are reporting these 2 bugs without first querying bugzilla
to discover they've both been reported about 10000 times already,
and are fixed internally. ;o)
Upside:
- I now know how many users we have, since it seems like every single
one of them has filed a bug about this. ;o)
- I've discovered that a single typo or bad line in one file can make
the entire universe crumble.
While I haven't yet figured out how to harness the power of xinitrc
to take over the world, and haven't figured out how to turn a profit
from "Fedora Core X11 protection insurance", I have fixed these two
nasty glitches and built new rpms internally for FC3testX. ;o)
The 2 bugs are present in xinitrc-4.0.6-1 through 4.0.10-1:
- xinitrc missing closing "fi" in if block
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=134673
- Xsession can't find xinitrc-common
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=134785
Both of these issues are fixed in xinitrc-4.0.11-1, which is not yet
in rawhide, however I have uploaded it to people.redhat.com, where you
can download it manually, and install with "rpm":
ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/xinitrc-4.0.11-1.noarch.rpm
Those who wish to use "yum" or similar to get the package, can just
wait a day or so until the package gets pushed into rawhide normally.
Please test the new package to try and find any other glaring bugs
or problems that might still be present. If you discover anything,
please query bugzilla first to see if someone else has reported it,
and if not, please open a new report for the issue.
Thanks for testing Fedora Core development, and riding the edge! ;o)

OpenOffice 1.1.2 unstable under upgraded RH9
by G. Vincent Castellano
I just upgraded RH9 on my T23 laptop to FC3t2, and OpenOffice is so unstable as
to be almost unusable. I opened one bug via BugBuddy (I'm not sure if that was
the appropriate forum):
http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=67469
But it doesn't take too much to crash it. Even a simple copy and paste in
oocalc gets the regions wrong. I can't believe that it's this broken for
everyone, I must have some configuration problem. Should I have just done a
clean install (audio was broken after the upgrade, too, but removing the sound
card from the config and rerunning kudzu fixed that).
--gvc
(Glad to see wireless support is better integrated.)

In the latest rawhide /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients, it looks like this is
missing a "fi".

PREFERRED=gnome-session
elif [ "$DESKTOP" = "KDE" ]; then
