After applying all the security patches I am experiencing several
problems. My desktop got hosed so I suspect I will have to delete it and
recreate it, the menu is gone. My 'm' key got messed up but its back to
normal after a reboot. Can't believe I needed a reboot.

I feel as if some "security" patch probably was coupled with regular
patches because of the changes I am experiencing. Even Pan is different
and has complained to me.

Im using 2008 spring. Anyone else have issues with security patches on
this OS?

Well my m key is still borked in VNC as is repeating keys. Strangly
enough though the 'm' key repeats just fine. Some patch definitely did it.

As for the rest of the stuff, one of my drives appearantly choked on June
7. I guess its no good to send yourself emails on failures if you arent
going to check them. Problem is mandrive security thing sends too many
emails...

Anyway, for some reason when I rebooted with the 1 drive down, the OS
booted into OS 2007 which was my desktop problem.

I don't use vnc, so can't help there.

Glad you figured out the cause, and thanks for updating the thread.
