Hi Dwight,

I was using Gnome with Metisse under 2010 and did an upgrade, with ALL
sources available.  So that's how I got gnome.

Incidentaly, I tried removing all .gnome etc. folders from my home
directory and let the system recreate them, and still got this
'feature'.

Nope.  Nothing whatsoever.  Mouse-over, right-click, left-click, and
everything else I have tried does nothing at all (so far as I can see).

Excellent thought - something I hadn't come up with, and it does look
likely.  However it doesn't seem to be correct.  Activating the
corresponding keys on the keyboard makes no difference to this display.
