My point isn't that it doesn't work perfectly well on some 10.1 systems, it does. My point, and the point of the bug, is that on some systems it is so slow as to be virtually unusable.

The problem with what you just said is how does one decide that it is a "bug" because as you just said that it works perfectly on other installations?
If the same software works in significantly different ways on two relatively similar hardware setups, it is a bug. Whether it is a bug in SUSE Linux or caused by something else is the real problem.
I, and others, have posted in this forum problems I/we have with other bits of SuSE - either this latest version or earlier - and I/we either get no response because noone else is having the same hassle or get the same sort of response I made, ie "I get this result.....".
Unless you describe the problem in detail, and preferably provide some useful diagnostics, this is about all you can expect. Michael has describe the problem in some detail, has even told us he's been stracing and that there's an open bugreport. That's all pretty good stuff.
The bottom line really about this is that I have installed Windows on other people's computers which had a diverse sets of components and Windows always installs first up and works on all those systems; if I install Acrobat reader on a Windows computer it reads whatever pdf document I throw at it without blinking, and if I install ANY piece of software written for Windows it INSTALLS without first having to wank itself stupid deciding if there are dependencies which first need to be satisfied.
Basil, I'm not quite sure what you're saying here, but it sounds a little like you'd rather be working on Windows? Linux is not Windows. /Per Jessen, Zürich
