I've had several "issues" with it on a customized RH8 machine. The XD2
_REQUIRES_ CUPS to be the print interface or else the OpenOffice.org
1.0.3 is extremely unstable. Also some UI issues with the calendar in
Evolution.

The "My Computer" is a stupid idea that is bound to cause some backlash
from the legal crowd in Redmond. Go into ~/.gnome-desktop and edit the
"My Computer" file. Change it to:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=System
Type=X-Nautilus-MyComputer
URL=system:
X-Nautilus-Icon=my-computer

Where the Name=System line used to be Name=My Computer

Now it makes some sense.
