Caught me out again. On my desktop I am running Mint 10 KDE, based on
Ubuntu Maverick. And the laptop is running Mint 9 Xfce. Perhaps the
difference is between KDE and Xfce.

Yes, I know that Maverick is getting a bit old now. So I am testing some
distros on VBox, including Kubuntu 11.10 and Mint 12 KDE. I must soon
decide which one to choose as my next distro. Or I may stay where I am
for the time being. One advantage with Linux is plenty of choice.
