Dear List,

	I'm not a VMware user (I have VirtualBox instead). I haven't
	seen such a misbehaviour under sedit window. I also run FC10
	(latest Fedora distro!). But my window manager isn't KDE or
	GNOME but mwm that comes from http://lesstif.sourceforge.net
	web-site.

	To Larry : have you ever tried changing your desktop environ-
	ment ? Switch from GNOME to KDE or the other way around ...

	Sorry if I can't help you that much. Best regards,
