Hi Steven,

I'm using Gambas 1 on daily basis on a Suse 9.1 system, but Gambas2 
hasn't worked on it since Benoit changed to the MDI system. First I 
tried out many things, but to no avail. Same problem: it's running in 
the background, but never shows up.

Now there is a new system which I did update from 10.2 to 10.3 from a 
free DVD from a magazine. Gambas2 runs flawlessly on this system (but it 
did on the 10.2 anyway).

However, this 10.3 doesn't recognize my DVD writer. There's something 
wrong with one of the KDE services, but nobody could help me so far. 
Maybe I'll try a fresh install with this distro. I just mention this to 
show you there might be some obstacles on the way from an updated 
system... (I even considered trying Kubuntu, but how to burn an install 
DVD if you haven't got a writer?)
