           OK, I have ugraded to Feisty, and it all went well and it hasn't   
   crashed   
   yet.  I am a little upset with having only 2 workspaces and not finding any   
   way to change that.  Why wouldn't the upgrade preserve my settings?  It's   
   most inconsiderate.  I routinely use three workspaces...I multitask like   
   heck!  Occasionally I use all 4.  I just can't get along with 2.   
           First I found the place where you can drag icons to the panel and I   
   thought, "Great, I'll just drag this workspace icon to the panel a couple   
   of times and that'll fix it.  The first time I did it, I got a second   
   access to the same 2 workspaces.  My!  That's useful. (:-|)  I deleted   
   those.   
           Then I got into "Yelp" and found a command that wraps onto 4 lines   
   that's   
   supposed to change the default setting.  I cut and pasted it into a   
   terminal window.  I got an error message that was longer than the command.    
   It was so long I didn't even read beyond the first line, which said   
   something about not being able to write to the gconf.xml.defaults file.  I   
   stuck a sudo in front of it and got the same error.  It never even asked me   
   for my password.  So I did an su and it did ask me for the password, which   
   I gave it, and it rejected my password.   
           Is there something simple that I missed.  This upgrade feels like a   
   downgrade.  I suppose I'll get used to it once I get my setting back the   
   way they used to be.   My solitaire game is messed up too.  All the   
   alternative decks of cards are gone.  This is one of my main activities   
   when I'm waiting for a download or whatever.   
           I'm just hoping that they screwed up on the little stuff because they   
   were   
   putting all their effort into the big stuff.  So Cinelerra should install   
   and run like a breeze, right?!
