On that note.  Having the login window trying to announce it's arrival,
which prior versions used to do, at least, seems a bad idea.

Likewise, I notice that Gnome rarely ever manages to play the sound file
that it's supposed to as your session starts.  And, if it tries to play
a sound as you log out, it starts and gets abruptly cut off.  That's
another couple of things that aren't well implemented.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
