However, something fairly fundamental has changed, as prior to updating, gkrellm worked fine, but now every time I execute gkrellm the kernel panics. I'm going to triage on a different machine, as the panic corrupted at least one system library used by nautilus, but rpm -Va is your friend in these

Since my current monitor appears to be slowly dying, I'm looking for a replacement. I generally use hardware replacement as an excuse to get something bigger/better/faster than what I had before, so I'm currently considering something like a BenQ GW2765HT.
