I have it happening in Leap installations as well. This particular Slowroll was was born as a zypper dup from a cloned 15.5, which has the same problem. 2-This is not a recent development. ISTR 15.4 did it too, at least 6 months ago, but rather than reporting I installed KDM3 or TDM on them instead of keeping XDM only. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
