Forgive my tardiness in replying. The specific problem is no longer
present in 1.5. Upgrading settings from 1.1 to 1.5 has a tendency to
create problems with the window manager as well as asus eee specific
functions don't work well. Also the touchpad tapping issue resurged and
the solution still escapes me. I did a clean re-install and manually
eliminated evolution, firefox, openoffice, etc. I then installed the
lightweight substitutes, tested Thunderbird and Epiphany, had to change
system preferences and they work together as normal. The Thunderbird
Lightning extension needs libstdc++5 to run and that requires some
experience to implement.

It seems a better release than before but as I have so many changes to
make from a basic install, I do wish for a configuration utility and the
inclusion of the asus_eee module for 2.6.30.5 kernel.
