The same privilege can be revoked in Win2K. Damn it's irritating, isn't it. Oh, and you need to get a bigger screen/switch to a higher resolution. And yeah, I need to fix the navigation panel.

One of the most annoying features of said downgrade is that when I double click down in the corner, which I'm in the habit of doing when I want to see the calender in order to know what date next friday fortnight is (since that's typically the deadline for the response to the letter i'm typing at the time), it comes up with that smug little message that i'm not authorised to buggerise the system time. I'm not yet in the habit of using lotus notes calender for this purpose. Oh, and any typos in this post are due to the RHS panel thingy with the links overlapping with the copmments field, so what I type goes behind the panel and I can't see it. So there.

Which then takes 20 seconds to figure out how to make it go away (click on the clock again - not the calendar). I've been exclusively using Linux for a month at work, and I'm yet to be particularly freaked out by anything it does. PS: I am not a crank. KDE – click on the clock, get a calendar.
