A few weeks back I noted in the fedora-beta list that, after selecting Log Out -> Shut down, my screen darkens in three distinct top-to-bottom passes with maybe a 1 second pause between each. At least one other Severn user reported seeing the same thing. I'm not sure if this is XFree86 video driver-related, or perhaps something in the window manager. It's not a critical problem, but it's very visible. If anyone else has done any diagnostic snooping, and knows what package contains the fault, I'll be happy to post the problem to Bugzilla. --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL
