I don't like kludges either. But I've had to make do with many over the years.

I would like to know why it isn't working as it should. Alternately, I'd like to know why it works right when I go to work, but doesn't when I come home.

Oh well ...

Just another note for anyone who might be experiencing this problem.

I moved the script to the startup group. Apparently startup scripts are also run on resume from hibernate, so it works better there.
