I am seeing problems when using Kbear on SuSE9.2 (fresh install). When I load Kbear, the KDE taskbar will crowd together thw tasks in the taskbar, and open up a lot of in between items on the "System Tray". Once I close Kbear, the proper spacing will return, but not immediately. Has anyone else seen this, and is there something I can do to fix the issue? (I'm new to Linux, and especially SuSE/KDE, so I may get my terms incorrect.) Thanks eric

Same thing here, but with SuSE 9.1, now running KDE 3.3.0. Very annoying! I do not know how to fix it, but I will try upgrading to 3.3.1.

Matt, 3.3.1 doesn't seem to have a fix for this either, as I just tested it here. Not sure what's causing it or if it's worth running down. I haven't used Kbear since building Krusader rpms. It has far better capabilities for more than just ftp work. Don't know why SuSE or KDE has quit including it. Lee

Yeah, it happened to me, and I'm running KDE3.3.1 on 9.1, so it's not a 9.2 issue I wasn't sure what Kbear was, until I tried it. It's YAFTPC (Yet Another FTP Client). Well, geez...What's wrong with textmode BSD style? Not only that, but Konqueror is also an FTP client like IE can be. But Wait There's More! Type fish://your.account@somedomain.com into a Konqueror location bar, and *woosh*, you're into your remote account via ssh/scp, encrypted. Quite nifty. http://osdir.com/Article2159.phtml Another useful thing: use Konq to view man pages. man://(1)/usr/share/man/man1/ftp.1.gz Konq is quite the swiss-army-knife.

Yes. Find the bug and write a patch. That said, it'd probably something simple and stupid like a misplaced semicolon requiring incredible amounts of time to vgrep for. (vgrep - visual grep - search with your eyeballs) Simplest solution, use a different ftp client, one that works. -- BMO

Gosh, such help I receive. I was sadly mistaken that Kbear was the *only* way to ftp. I am so glad I had Daniel assist me in opening my eyes to the ways of Konq and to the ways of the old ye ftp.

I'll get right on it. I'll make sure you're on the notify list for the bug also. Especially since you have such a keen helpful interest.
