I think I have that already in that I can issue smart --gui, but I get 
problems in that too, in that when scrolling through the package list I 
get repeated error messages that hang smart. I'm not sure of the exact 
message text at the moment.
I'm also not using the native Mandriva packages for smart, they don't 
work because of an issue I resolved with Anders quite some time ago. I'm 
using the upstream version of smart 1.4.1 that I downloaded using Anders 
instructions.

regards,
Steve
