I've heard that it doesn't run well in Gnome. I'm running a similar 
setup, software wise. And the only problem I experience with Gnome is 
that the TV window doesn't go borderless and on top of everything like 
every other window. Check for proper versions of QT and such. I don't 
remember if I had to urpmi those. They should be the newest one since 
mandrake 9.1 just came out.
