I want to come up with good things to say about 6.01 so I've kept it going on a machine for the last week and played with it and after rebooting I found that my paste problem in RXVT was cured by a reboot. I still can't paste in LXTerminal and that F10 keybinding issue is uncool. However, I tried MC in Xterm and I was able to paste and then it worked in RXVT so perhaps that was a temporary local problem.

I'm going to post some of the things that I like about 6.01 in the 6.01 section of the news forum since I don't know where else to put them and that forum is becoming a dumping ground for bugs so it seems like a good place to say some things on the bright side.
