  Heh. That's actually the first real lockup (as opposed to a process
gone bezerk) I've had since leaving SuSE. Best I can tell, something
went wrong when shutting down Win4Lin (working on a PowerPoint
presentation -- a necessary evil until OO.o's PowerPoint filter displays
things perfectly) that killed the system.

  Since Win4Lin has a kernel module that helps it function, I guess
Win4Lin could directly kill the system... I'm not sure if that's the
case. At any rate, KMail lost everything. :-\

  For now, it's for the better though. Based on my initial impression,
Evolution may be the best e-mail client I've ever used.
