I reinstalled Natty as a fresh install for various reasons, and it has
worked fine for me since. I presume it was an issue with my configuration
file but I don't know for sure. Anyways, it's been working fine since I did
the fresh install, but it was giving me problems when I had Natty on as an
upgrade.
