Decoration
by Paul Foerster 20 Feb '04

20 Feb '04

Hi there, ... I managed to adapt everything, bottons, window decorations, sliders, etc. to something I want it to look like (which is basically the Mac Aqua theme, btw.), except three things: 1. That darn green ugly SuSE beast of the K menu. How can I replace this icon with something more attractive? 2. That ugly dragon I am presented with in the logout requester? 3. I need an Aqua theme for Mozilla. The only two Aqua themes I found for Mozilla are either for Mozilla 1.0 or 0.9 or something that doesn't work anymore with a more recent Mozilla or for the Mac version of Mozilla. Both are no options with Mozilla 1.5 being the current stable version on Linux/Intel machines of course. relevant System info: SuSE 9.0, KDE 3.1.4, updated thru YOU I'd very much appreciate it if anyone can help me with this. So, thanks very much in advance. :-) -- cul8er, Paul paul.foerster(a)gmx.net

Problem running Gnome programs in KDE ?
by Peter Fasi 03 Jan '04

03 Jan '04

I have a recurring problem with some Gnome programs running in KDE (such as Galeon and Grip). It seems that if they crash, my PC freezes up, and every subsequent time that I log on with the same username. I am inexperienced with Linux, and so my my only remedy has been to delete the username and set up a new username for myself. This is tedious, since I have to save and move all of my files, then change the permissions to the new user. The problem seems to be that there are some runaway programs are trying to initiate in the background. Is there any way around this? Can I edit the user profile to not initiate these programs? Any help would be appreciated. ____________________________________________________________ Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...

Is there any documentation available on kaudiocreator? Is there a way to specify the CDROM device, or is it hardwired to read from /dev/cdrom? Paul Abrahams

Hi, How can I backup the mails received by kmail? I know that is storage in the directory Mail, but if I create subdirectories in any directory its content is lost or I don't know how to recover. What is the correct procedure to do the backup? Thadeu

[9.0] Wallpapers/screen split
by Adolph & Sharon Weidanz 29 Dec '03

29 Dec '03

Hey all; I am running suse 9.0 and the KDE that came with it (3.2??), on a gateway 600xl (15.7' lcd screen) that I run at 1280x1024 or 1024x768. The problem is the screen seems to split. I didn't really notice it till I tried to place a SKaramba applet in the corner. I went control center and noticed that the wallpapers (tried many different sizes and pictures , both png and jpg) were split, also tried all of the different settings (centered, tiled etc..) and didn't seem to matter. Changing grdient didn't seem to affect it either. I searched the internet and only came up with one hit and it mentioned it MIGHT be an XFree86 problem, but no real answer.. Any help would be deeply appreciated -- Adolph & Sharon Weidanz S/V Time To Paws 43' 1978 Endeavour Ketch

Application hotkeys
by Paul W. Abrahams 28 Dec '03

28 Dec '03

I seem to remember that under older versions of KDE there was a way to assign a hotkey to an application so that, for instance, typing Alt-E would summon the Emacs editor. However, I can't find any way of making such an assignment under KDE 3.1. Is it still there -- and if so, where? Paul Abrahams

Assigning modifiers to keys
by Paul W. Abrahams 28 Dec '03

28 Dec '03

In the KDE Control Center there's a facility, it appears, for assigning modifiers to keys such as the Win key. You get to it via Regional and Accessibility / Keyboard Shortcuts / Modifier Keys. That screen has a panel entitled "X Modifier Map", which says which modifiers are associated with the various shift keys. The problem I have is that I can't figure out how to change the settings in the Modifier Map table. Clicking on it highlights a row, but nothing I type seems to have any effect on the table. What I'd like to do is to make the left Windows key be a Super shift and the right Windows key be a Hyper shift. Does anyone know how I can do that?

File Associations
by Dejan Cabrilo 25 Dec '03

25 Dec '03

Hello everyone, I have a problem with SuSE 9.0 installation of KDE 3.1.4. When I try to change file associations, I cannot save the changes. E.g. I switch around application preference order, click on Apply, click on OK. But, it doesn't really save the change. When I come back to file associations settings (or I just try opening a file by double clicking on it), the preference order is as it was before I changed it. Also, adding/removing doesn't work. Changes in embedding work fine. Oh yes, I just tried to do it with root, and it worked fine. But, it wouldn't change anything with a regular user. Where is this information stored? I couldn't find it in ~/.kde (and I looked, seems like, in every file.. but none of them stores name of applications used to run a file). If I can't get it to work this way, I may as well just edit the config files, if I can find them :) Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Dejan

No Stencils in Kivio
by James Mohr 22 Dec '03

22 Dec '03

Hi All! I am trying to draw something in Kivio and I do not seem to have any stencils at all. If I read the doc correctly, I should at least have the basic flow chart stencils, but no matter what I do I cannot seem to load them. Are there supposed to be any stencils? If so, any help on loading them would be greatly appreaciated. Regards, jimmo -- --------------------------------------- "Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation.

Floppy problem.....
by Fred Miller 21 Dec '03

21 Dec '03

Is there any way to access a floppy with Konq., take the floppy out, put in another, and have it see the "new" floppy without unmounting and remounting? For someone who HAS to view a lot of floppies, as a client of mine does, it's a real pain in the butt!!! "DeadRat" seems to have solved this problem in their last release, but I don't know what the setup is. Thanks!
