Thanks for the pointer. I'll certainly keep it in mind for the next time 
I change the system (probably with the release of 12.04). But for now 
(running 10.04), I'll keep it the way it is. I don't like tinkering with 
a system as much as I used now. Now I just want to get it up and running, 
and start _use_ the system I set up. That's why I asked my question in 
the first place; if there's no real need to correct my mistake, I won't 
correct it. :-)
