@robhague Tempting, but right now I'm investigating xfce as a session manager :-(
Anyone know if there's a fake gnome-shell available to cover what gnome-session needs from it? I want GNOME+XMonad

@tomscott Unless you tumble-dried it (or tried it in a system already), gentle warming/drying for about a week ought to allow it to work.

Hey @digicurry, are you somehow unaware of the Manchester currybeer events? See facebook.com/currybeer and currybeer.com/ etc.

@kianryan OOI where are you hunting? I tend to run about in Sol or connected systems
@diodesign I am horrified by it too.

@kianryan Sadly it's too late for me to reboot and play now, but perhaps tomorrow evening :-)
