Am having good success with 22. It is a delight to drop a file on the desktop knowing I can start it with a single click. I think the wallpaper chooser bug has already been mentioned (Only current wallpaper shows).
Tiling feature is a bit weird and maybe pointless the way it works just now.

I have hit a problem with Frisbee. It only connects about 50% of time. At other times, it seems unable to find wlan0. My guess is it is loading before the system had found wlan0. I have not tried other network loaders as Frisbee is the only one that will load the shared network in my workplace. Mayb...

I hear the 'hum' most of the time, especially in my home area, but it is a mistake to say it is low frequency. It is actually just very very low volume. In my town, it is so prevalent articles about it have appeared in our local paper. The very low frequency sounds are something different, and are c...
