["John Blue" <jblue@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm getting started with SuSE and have struck a small problem. I am 
running V.7.3 (Pro distribution) on a dual boot system with NT4.

When logged in as root the Konsole window opens, confined to a narrow 
window on the left of the screen, and the prompt is very difficult to 
read with letters squashed together. If I issue a command the 
response is also unreadable. Making the window full size does nothing 
for the text and adjusting the settings does not appear to work!

If I login with my normal user login, (John) the Konsole window is 
quite OK and text is very readable, and yet the settings appear to be 
the same for root as for user.

I have read the KDE Konsole instructions but I must be missing 
something as I can't adjust the settings to resolve this. I daresay a 
re-install would resolve it, and I am happy to do so. I think it's a 
breeze after windoze installs, although I would rather try and 
understand what the problem is.

Any pointers appreciated.

John
