> 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.

CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email is intended for the use of the individual  
addressee(s) named above and may contain information that is confidential  
privileged or unsuitable for overly sensitive persons with low self-esteem, no  
sense of humor or irrational religious beliefs. If you are not the intended  
recipient, any dissemination, distribution or copying of this email is not  
authorized (either explicitly or implicitly) and constitutes an irritating  
social faux pas. Unless the word absquatulation has been used in its correct  
context somewhere other than in this warning, it does not have any legal or  
grammatical use and may be ignored. No animals were harmed in the transmission  
of this email, although the goddamned dog next door is living on borrowed  
time, let me tell you. Those of you with an overwhelming fear of the unknown  
will be gratified to learn that there is no hidden message revealed by reading  
this warning backwards, so just ignore that Alert Notice from Microsoft. And  
NO, the Walrus was NOT Paul. However, by pouring a complete circle of salt  
around yourself and your computer you can ensure that no harm befalls you and  
your pets (except for the dog next door). If you have received this email in  
error, please add some nutmeg and egg whites, whisk and place in a warm oven  
for 40 minutes. But, under no circumstances are you to pull a man's finger  
when he asks. That said, now go forth and do the horizontal Mambo.
