Re: [PLUG] sys76 pt II

Can confirm this rather annoying problem.

At this point, I managed to get a bunch of environments working, but I 
think that was more of it "just started working" one day after much 
tinkering.

Try creating a fresh user account and logging in with that; I think that 
worked 100% for me.

Shut lid - does the computer stay on, or go to sleep? There is some 
magic to Gnome that forces it to sleep, but using awesome, it will stay 
awake. Don't think I ever got that one sorted.
