It has caused me problems. After clicking it away or even waiting for it to time-out I cannot execute anything from my desktop or panel bar. The system is frozen until I logout. Then whatever I tried to execute decides to run. Of coarse by then it's to late and I get logged out. It has even hosed me up so bad I couldn't even logout and had to hit the reset button. It doesn't happen every time just most of the time. Sooner or later I think it's gonna byte someone else.
It's bit me bad! I made several attempts to install SuSE 7.1 on my Dell Latitude CPi, but the system locked up solid when starting X. I couldn't 'click away' the splash screen (If it got that far...). I couldn't even switch to a normal console, or crash the X server with ctrl-alt-bksp! I had to power the box down. (In one case, I had to pull the battery!) The problem seemed to get more frequent, so I gave up and loaded SuSE 6.4. I'm now running stable, but I haven't worked out a Sound configuration yet... I'll try 7.1 again after I see some more updates appear...
I'm a great fan of Linux, and SuSE in particular, but 7.1 has given me my very first total system lockup under Linux...
The Splash screen problem wasn't there until the kde2.1 update for 7.1 came out. At least I never saw it untill then. Maybe you have another problem? Mark
