Everything else seems to work fine. The root partition though isn't displayed
correctly. It shows '/dev/root' for the device instead of '/dev/hb2' . Well,
that isn't totally correct either. It does show 'dev/hdb2' also, but doesn't
seem to know what that is. 
The '/dev/hdb2' looks like this:
/dev/hdb2  reiserfs  N/A    /   0 B   N/A   No Usage shown.

The '/dev/root' looks like this:
/dev/root     ?    18.6 GB  /  13.3 GB  28.2%   Shows Usage.

Command 'df' also shows the same thing, ie. /dev/root  instead of the partition
number. This all seems to stem from /etc/mtab. 

Which shows all the other partitions as /dev/hdxx, but root as /dev/root.
/dev/root / reiserfs rw 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0
/dev/hda6 /mnt/backup reiserfs rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /boot ext3 rw,noatime 0 0

Boils down to that it is still usable, just doesn't display correctly.
Originally had this bug as KDE, but since df does same thing and is getting the
information from /etc/mtab, changed it to core system.

Must have been fixed recently. Just looked and results look like
they are suppose to! 
Thank you, fixed.
