systemsettings brings up a menu I have seen before, but I haven't seen it

contains a std.vcf file icon, and the server tab shows use internal mysql as
checked, a list of ghosted options, and a test button. That, copied to the

=======================================
Longer than I thought it was. :(
And it seems to be working recently, I no longer get that same message when
I'm starting X. However, Test 4's results look like a bug to me.
Now the 64$ Q is why is that not in my menu's, I haven't deleted but a couple
of things I knew were somehow left overs from FC2!
