I have recently installed version 10 of SuSE LINUX. I am trying to compare GNOME and KDE to see which I would prefer. When I click the "My Computer" icon under KDE, nothing happens. Clicking the "Computer" icon under GNOME gives the normal display of all of my disk devices.
I can find no error messages after trying "My Computer".
Has anyone had this problem?

You should get a window, with a bunch of selections on the left, for applications, settings, various browsers, etc. In the window should appear icons for drives, maybe other things. (My machine is fairly virgin, at the moment.) I have never tried Gnome, nor do I intend to. The whole interface looks ugly to me, and it has a bad rep on the list, here.
Some of us like gnome and some of us don't. I like both and use both. In fact when I had 9.3 on my system I used gnome about 98%+ of the time as KDE had become unusable due to slowmess.
Speaking of interfaces, I sure wish somebody would write a clone of Eudora, since Qualcomm doesn't seem likely to. KMail is useable (once you have made the typeface big enough to read) but Eudora is infinitely nicer.
IIRC Eudora runs under wine. If you want a full powered e-mail and news client in one then try Forte's (Free) Agent under wine.
BTW: anything that starts with "My" is instantly renamed on any of my machines, especially since I have more than one. Programmers should respect that choice and avoid using such names. What, are we all still in Kindergarten?
<chuckle> I do wish the programmers would use the same name as the computer's "Host name" instead of my computer.
