This is on an IBM A20M laptop with Debian testing. I plan on using xTLF 
for RTTY contesting. I notice the GUI and windows as well as the overall 
performance to be "jerky" for lack of a better word. There is a 
noticeable lag before a window opens or a function executes. Am I 
missing a needed package ??
