Latest NetworkManager update on Fedora 9 stops the freeze on Macbook Pro

My existing issue with NetworkManager on Fedora 9 running on my Macbook Pro seems to have gone away with the latest update.

Glad it's working now, even though blame was quickly shifted towards ndiswrapper, which I haven't changed. :-)

Quick shell access with 'tilda'

This is pretty neat. Tilda is a little application that let's you access a terminal on your desktop like Quake games. You hit a key, and the shell slides on your desktop, hit it again, and it goes away. On Fedora just do:

yum install tilda

Run it as a regular user for configuration.

Here is a screenshot of my setup.
