Two issues.....

[Charles Malespin]

Hi all, just installed breezy and no major problems at all really.  But
I noticed a few things since Hoary and want to see if I can fix them or
change stuff. First, Breezy(mainly gnome) seems a little sluggish
compared to Hoary.  I notice alot more drag and delay for some reason.
I never had this with hoary(I have P4 3Ghz, 1Gb ram, ATI X300 video card
so I dont think my system is not fast enough to keep up.)  Is anyone
else noticing this?  Is there anything to do about it?

Secondly is an issue with firefox.  I cant seem to get firefox to play
video clips(mainly mpegs) from websites.  In hoary I used to just click
the video and totem or xine would pop up and play the clip.  This is
what I would like to happen, and sometimes it does(but only once out of
20 times).   I used the automaitx application from the ubuntu forums
website to try and get all the codecs etc. but it still isnt working.  I
dont want the video to play in firefox, just open the clip in
totem-xine.  Is there some way to check to see if I have the proper
thing installed, or if I need something else?  Thanks, 
Charles
