I just installed 2.0 and I am having tons of problems.
What I don't understand is that everyone else in this newsgroup
seems to be OK, so I guess there is something wrong with me.

Problems :

News, the news reader with NextStep interface, doesn't work anymore.
I can't even tell the author, because I can't get to the About... box.
Other news reader (rn, gnus,...) work fine, so ???

When I log out, I have to kill the window server to log back in.
In other words, if I log out, and then try to log in, the login window
goes away when I type Return after the password, but comes back after
a couple seconds. So I have to log in as 'exit' (i.e. kill the window
server), and only then can I log in.

I can't print anymore ! I have a Sun set up as a print server. It is
used by the whole network, and is working fine for everyone, and was
working fine for the Next until I installed 2.0, but now the print
jobs get partially transmitted and then get lost.

LockScreen is now useless, since the title bar of the big window used to
cover the screen is visible.

What's going on ? Am I really the only one experiencing these problems ?

By the way, I really like 2.0, it's got lots of nice things, but I am
surprised by all these problems.
