Icon positions jumbled in KDE3
by Glenn Holmer 11 May '02

11 May '02

Maybe similar to my previous post, as normal user, desktop icons are frequently moved to random positions on login (in the same general area, but scrambled). And does anybody know how to specify the length of an icon text before it wraps? or disable/enable icon text wrapping? -- =========================================================== Glenn Holmer (gholmer(a)ameritech.net) ----------------------------------------------------------- Performing music well is a matter of distorting the score to produce the desired illusion, namely the existence of the score in a pure state. ----------------------------------------------------------- -Shadow, 1975 ===========================================================

Konqueror user agent
by Paul W. Abrahams 11 May '02

11 May '02

In version 2.2.2 of Konqueror at least, there's a facility for specifying a "user agent" in the configuration that enables Konqueror to identify itself as some other prowser (IE 5.5 is usually a good choice). It's necessary for accessing web sites that check for browser identity. Trouble is, it seems that it's necessary to specify the user agent individually for each website where it matters. There's no way I can find to say that Konqueror should by default identify itself as, say, IE5.5. Is there some way of doing that that I've missed? Is the behavior in version 3 any better?

kmail
by bob barish 30 Apr '02

30 Apr '02

Hello; I have a really trivial question about kmail. Is there any way to get kmail when replying to a message to start at the top of the reply and with the signature, instead of starting at the bottom of the reply. I have looked through the settings and did not see anywhere to make kmail start at the top. Any suggestions. Thanks a bunch for you time Bob

Knode Question
by Dave Barton 30 Apr '02

30 Apr '02

Hopefully, this is the correct list for posting questions about Knode (it is part of KDE, isn't it?). Is there any way to select a number of headers to download the message bodies. If there are a large number of messages in a thread or a large number of threads I want to read, it's a real pain to click scroll and click on every header. Any ideas? TIA Dave

KDE 3 SuSE 7.2 rpms and truetype fonts
by Daniel Rees 30 Apr '02

30 Apr '02

I have installed the KDE 3 rpms from kde.org for SuSE 7.2, and everything works as if I had compiled from source except I no longer seem to have truetype support. I understand that anti-aliasing has been disabled for 7.1 and 7.2 because they use an older XF86 version, but surely this doesn't disable truetype support? When I say truetype is disabled, I literally mean that KDE 3 cannot access any of my truetype fonts while KDE 2 and non-Qt apps like xfontsel can. So: a) Will there be an anti-aliased enabled QT rpm together with XF86 4.2 - I understand this may be too much to ask for an older version than 8.0, but some of us have to save up for these things ;) b) How can I enable truetype support using the KDE 3 rpms?

Kmail/GPG Problem with SuSE 8.0
by Ralph F. De Witt 30 Apr '02

30 Apr '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all: Has anyone noticed a problem with Kmail 1.4 and GPG as installed with 8.0. I have noticed on several occasions when using Kmail I move to the next message and Kmail hangs. If I start KDE System Guard in tree mode I find Kmail with GPG running under it using up almost all the memory. Nothing else with run. IF I kill the GPG processe I normally get Kmail back. It does not seem to matter if the message is signed or not with GPG. Any ideas? - -- Yours, Ralph.

kmail headers pane
by David Monk 29 Apr '02

29 Apr '02

I am now using KDE 3 on SuSE 7.3. I have one irritating thing in it I can not get past. After much searching I am guessing it is an unavailable feature, but I thought I might ask this group. With the main window open, looking at the header pane, I can move the columns around so that the Sender is on the left. This has nothing to do with sorting the messages, just how the pane is layed out. However, I can find no way to save this "layout". When I close and restart kmail, the Sender column returns to it's normal position. How is it I can move it, but not save that? Has anyone else noticed this? Overcome it? Have I just not looked for the right thing in the docs? If so, please point me in the right direction. Thanks. --- David Monk CCNA, MCSE david(a)purplebear.net The more things change, the more they stay insane.

Network-Konqueror
by Van Leynseele Luc 29 Apr '02

29 Apr '02

Good afternoon, I have a small network existing out of 10 computers, a hubs and a router (brand: Broadband Router D-Link DI 804) and an broadband (ADSL) modem (brand: Speed Touch Home Alcatel). All computers can on the internet at the same time and files and printers can be shared. For testing purposes we run on four of these computers SuSE Linux 7.3 Professional, which we start from a floppy. As standalone those computers run well. The Ethernet cards have been configured dynamic and get their IP address from the router. (For the moment Linux run separately from Windows that means we are using Linux or Windows). I do not encounter any problems when testing on the console with arp, ping, ifcongfig, etc. Problem If I look by means of Konqueror in the network/local network, I get the remark: "Could not connect host to host local host". Under networks nothing is shown in the tree. Please, can somebody help? How do we share files and printers between the different computers in a Linux environment. (without seeing windows files for which you have to install Samba) Thanks in advance L.Van Leynseele Luc.VanLeynseele(a)skynet.be

KOrn
by René Matthäi 29 Apr '02

29 Apr '02

Hi, I don't manage to have KOrn access my public IMAP/IMAPS account (WEB.DE) What do I have to configure? I also tried it with POP3, it doesn't seem to work. Isn't it, by the way, able to cope with imapS/pop3S (Port 995), the secure variants? Or doesn't KOrn yet support authentification like that? Which IMAP inbox folder do I have to use? "inbox" or "INBOX" or "~name" etc, esp. with WEB.DE? Ré
