i-mate K-JAM and SUSE 10.1

Thanks to HaYNstyle, a problem that was starting to bug me has all but vanished.

SABC – Stupid Asinine Bloody Criminals

KDE wins

I've been using Gnome desktop for my SUSE 10.1 installation for the past week. I wanted to give it a good chance. Today I switched back to KDE and have decided I like it more. Sorry, Gnome.
