-When setting OpenOffice to use a TrueType font as default (instead of that stupid localized fonts), OOo crashes almost at startup... no matter if you use the included OOo 1.1 RC4 or the 1.1 final.
-Programs that use GTK icons install "fine", but no icons are displayed...
Java JRE (1.4.2_01) works fine under Mozilla or Firebird, but crashes Konqueror- in fact: you have to logout to make Konqueror working again...
Now I am back at 9.1 and updates, and EVERYTHING is ticking like a clockwork... so I guess I won't touch this till fixed. Funnily enough 9.2 RC2 had WAY lesser problems, but the main one (= my PPPoE (inter)net connection could be properly set via third party programs and not MCC, which was not able to save settings...) was enough to kick that out.
By the way I have also got SuSE 9.0 pro, which I installed in my spare HD, and this baby just works PERFECTLY right out of the box... I guess the Mandrake guys need a hard kick in the ass to get a bit serious about their distro... Of course I could just use SuSE 9.0, but I prefer free software, and Mandrake 9.2 is just too buggy, while Debian Sarge is just too hard (at least for illiterates like me...)
