Okay I'll buy that. :)
I feel, however, that I've lost some functionality. I don't get desktop links
automatically and now my SCSI card no longer works. So to have this weird
mount point too means that my experience in 9.2 has been tainted. I think the
look of KDE is great. I like those changes. But this mount point, SCSI
failure, and weird monitor behavior means overall 9.2 appears buggy.
