Comment 7 for bug 132399

First let me apologize for my sour note above.
In the first place I just wanted to know if anyone besides me is missing this fancyheadings style, too.
Then I just wanted to confirm the simple fact, but sometimes my fresh angry thoughts fall in a feedback loop ;-((

Secondly, MANY THANKS for the tips, they work and I have put them in my 2nd brain, aka BLog:

As of the speed problem, I isolated this to some access rights problem.
When I start latex or xdvi as root, they work usually fast, i.e. like a rocket.
When I start them as normal user, they try to do something for a minute or so.
I also have other minor problems of this kind, so I guess it is my fault somehow, and I will [s]trace this down myself tomorrow.

My new ThinkPad is far too new for any OS, as it should seem, so I patched in newer ALSA and acpi_thinkpad drivers, tried several NVidia-drivers, produced umpsteen crashes during suspend/resume tests, and so on ...
Somewhere along this path I might have killed some execute or sticky bit or something alike.
I'll narrow it down, eventually cross check with a fresh gutsy i386 (it's amd64 here), and post any findings somewhere appropriate (and at least a link in here).

Kind regards, Christoph
