color IconLabel
by Thomas Wedehase 22 Jan '05

22 Jan '05

Hello List, I have (maybe) a simple question that I can find the answer for. I have a new picture for my background, unfortunately it has the same color as the labels of my desktop Icons (Trash, ...). How do I change the color of these Labels?

kmail passphrase timeout
by John Quentin Heywood 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

I have looked far and wide for an answer to this, but to no avail. I have recently upgraded to SuSE 9.2 from 8.2, and I am trying to get my GPG passphrase to stay in memory for longer than a couple of minutes, which seems to be the default. I am using pineentry-qt. In my older version of kmail, using the now-deprecated plugin, I just set a pgp_timeout=3600 to get an hour. I am getting royally tired of typing (and mistyping) my passphrase. Are there any options in the new kmail to allow this? If so, what are they and what file do they go in? Thanks for any help...

SuSE 9.2 - KDE with Gnome background and icons on top
by Lars Haugseth 20 Jan '05

20 Jan '05

I'm running SuSE 9.2 with KDE 3.3.0. A couple of weeks ago I ran some Gnome application, and since then, the Gnome background image and desktop icons are showing on top of my KDE desktop, even after a complete reboot. Any ideas how I can get rid of these, and possibly make sure this doesn't happen again the next time I run a Gnome application? Regards, -- Lars Haugseth

K3B and Digikam CD Archive
by William E. Shotts 16 Jan '05

16 Jan '05

I am attempting to use the Kipi Plugin for Digikam to archive a photo album to CD. Everything appears to work normally until k3b starts. Digikam appears to create the appropriate files, invokes k3b, k3b starts and then immediately gives me an error message "Cannot open file". I close k3b and digikam states "k3b completed. Deleting temporary file." I am using SUSE 9.1 Pro and KDE 3.3.2. Suggestions? Thanks for any help.

The magic has gone away
by Andrew Williams 09 Jan '05

09 Jan '05

Hi, pretty much a beginner question but one which is currently getting rather annoying: I am browsing some .jpg (or some other types) using the 'Personal Files' House-Icon at the bottom of the screen. As you would expect, it loads the konq. My problem is: it will load the first one or two .jpg images but then it simply stops. Clicking one of the 'Open With' buttons works fine. Simply restarting the konq is not enough to get it to open another couple of images. The error message on the virtual screen where I issued the 'startx' looks a lot like this: konqueror: ERROR:Error in BrowserExtension::actionSlotMap(), Unknown action : Search provider This machine has had every SuSE level on it since around 8.0. The simplest solution is probably to nuke (rename) some configuration file/directory and force kde to recreate it. Any clues as to which one? -- opinions personal, facts suspect. http://home.arcor.de/36bit/samba.html

konqueror "document relations"
by udo 05 Jan '05

05 Jan '05

Hello together, After upgrading my SuSE 9.2 to KDE 3.3.2 I observe some strange behaviour on new user accounts: When opening a new konqueror (no matter whether openProfile filemanagement or webbrowsing) I get on the left side of the konqueror window a toolbar called "document relations"; to be correct: Dokumentenbeziehungen (Konqueror). When I open konqueror twice, this tool bar doubles, triples, etc.... !!!! Until the window is nearly full. I tried to attach a jpg showing this, but unfortunately the file size is limited to 20.000 bytes. It is really annoying. Is it a feature or a bug? It only happens in new user accounts, accounts created under 3.3.1 and before are not concerned. Any ideas? Help is welcome.. Thanks and regards, Udo
