Sometimes, when I open too many "big" applications on my desktop [StarOffice, Gimp, Mozilla] the mousepointer will point about an inch to left to the place I can click on the screen. Yet I have only found one way to repair this: Completely reboot my machine (neither gnome's restart desktop is of any help, nor [ctrl] + [alt] + [<--]). Is there any other way to reset this? [oh yes: I am running XF86-4 , gnome , sawfish -ports on -STABLE] Thanx for your answers. Uli. ************************************ * P. U.
