I have used apt to upgrade my KDE to 3.2 and overall it is very nice. But the scan application Kooka is not acting right. When I start it, it starts I cannot see the scan preferences, preview window, or anything. Only things that I see is the menu bar and the icon bar. If I tell it to display the aforementioned tools, they appear but as separate windows. Is there any way that I can get this app to act like it did in 3.1.4? The system sees the scanner and when I open the tool windows, I can preview scan and set options. So I am not sure what is going on. I am trying to Google for a answer but I have not found one yet. Does anyone have a clue why Kooka is doing this? Thanks, Marshall

After updating to KDE 3.2 I re-installed my Epson Perfection 3170 Photo via YaST because it was gone and then Kooka behaved. I am using Epson Kowa's iscan-1.6.0-6.redhat.8.0.i386.rpm. Works really well. All of Kooka's windows are together under the main window. I managed to fragment it once like you are seeing. Uninstall, reboot, re-install seemed to clear it for me. Never did figure out how I detached the various windows from within Kooka. Obviously never figured out how to reattach them either. Stan

I tried reinstalling my Epson Perfection 1250 Photo and I still have this issue. I cannot at this time use iscan because they somehow broke it where I cannot use the TPU. :( I will look again at their site to see if they fixed it.

Kind of a MS way of doing it. ;) I will try this later today but so far no success. I can use xsane just fine and before the upgrade, kooka used to behave like it should. I'm sure that it is something that I am overlooking somewhere. Thanks for the input. I will try the last suggestion sometime today. Marshall
I found out what causes that issue. What caused it on my system was the old kookarc file. Once I removed it, Kooka started to act normally. The location of the file is in ~/.kde/share/config Just remove the kookarc file that is in there and then fire up Kooka and you should be good to go. HTH someone Marshall
