[ale] screwing up the UI

[Ron Frazier]

Hi Damon,

I think I'm just going to keep what I have for now. I may try some of 
these other alternatives in VM's. I think I said Gnome shell once when I 
meant Gnome. I really don't know what Gnome shell is. For the moment, 
I'm just glad to have the machine running.

Sincerely,

Ron

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
