This is my deal killer.  I've been sticking with SXCE due to these 
reasons mainly, though there are others, mainly related to the amount of 
software available, and some of the behavior being strange with key 
applications.  It's cutting-edge in nature, I just trust SXCE a little 
more until they respin another ISO.
