Sorry, replied with false information and with the wrong subject.  It
was not the command that fixed the problem, it was the fact that I was
not in Xinerama mode.  When I got Xinerama fixed (by using acpi=off
kernel argument) the problem was back.  I have confirmed that it happens
only whith xinerama on.  My Qt apps look bad (no antialiasing) and
scribus locks up about ever other time.  Without Xinerama, qt apps look
great and scribus does not lock up at all.  It worked fine in Xinerama
mode before my upgrade, so redhat must have broken something.  If I
figure out what, I'll file a bug report with redhat.

thanks
