Hello list, I've a strange problem. Dont ask me why and how, but I have achieved to change the size of the popup window for selecting Email adresses in kmail (the three dots ... at the right hand site of the "to" and "copy" field, in a manner that I dont see the ok and the cancel button any more. I can change the window's size with the mouse as I want, but I never see the "ok" and "cancel" button again. They remain below the lower border of the window? Has anypne an idea, how I can get rid of the problem? I am running SuSE Professional 9.2 with it's KDE. Alexander

Completely black menus in GTK applications
by Lennart Börjeson 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Since upgrading to SuSE Linux 10.0 my GTK application have got menus with black backgrounds. Very annoying since the default font colour is black, too... I've seen this in acroread, gimp and eclipse. If I run acroread from a konsole and activate a menu, I get the following error on stderr: (acroread:5291): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_window_set_back_pixmap(): pixmap must have a colormap I've tried various settings in the ControlCentre, under "GTK Styles and Fonts", but to no avail. I've removed all .gtkrc* files in my home directory, didn't help either. I googled the error, and found something releated to gtk2 2.8, but I've checked and the indicated patch is already applied to the SuSE gtk2 version, 2.8.7. Any hints on how to resolve this? -- !++ !

keyboard frustration
by eddieleprince 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this but in order to get quotes (single or double) I have to press the key twice. If I only press the key once then the next character either doesn't appear or comes out with an accent or something like that. Other keys may be misbehaving as well but I've only experienced it on the quote keys so far. I only noticed it following upgrading to the latest version of KDE (KDE 3.5) via YAST. Interestingly enough, it does not happen with my system at work just the one at home. I'm running SUSE 10.0 with the various security updates etc. I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem. Is anyone aware of it or have any idea what is going on and how to fix it. By the way, if I go to a virtual console e.g. ctr-alt-f1 I don't experience this problem, but I do if I use konsole. Would be grateful for any help? Thanks in advance. Eddie

Odd behaviour with crtl-taste in KDE 3.5.0
by K. Elo 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

Hi, I have encountered an odd phenomena with KDE 3.5.and SL 9.3 Pro. When I press crtl-taste in Konqueror (and maybe in KMail, too), several yellow boxes with one digit or alphabet in each appear. When I press the crtl once again, these boxes disappear. I have absolutely no idea what these boxes are supposed to mean. The only clue is, that these boxes seem to be related to the URLs in the active window... Any ideas? Can someone reproduce this behaviour? Thanks in advance! Kimmo

How to? - KDEWallet and Firefox - more than one uname/pwd for a site
by Shriramana Sharma 25 Nov '05

25 Nov '05

In SeaMonkey and Firefox on Windows I had the convenience of saving more than one username/password for a site and when I visited that site again I would get a popup with the list of usernames from which I could select the one I want. I thought only KDEWallet didn't have this but now I see that even Firefox on Linux doesn't have it. So can anyone tell me how to get this functionality? Shriramana.

KDE 3.5:icons on desktop move despite locking
by Juergen Lennefer 24 Nov '05

24 Nov '05

Hi KDE community, I'm running SuSE 9.3 with KDE 3.5.0 level "a", upgarded with apt. I like it, it's much better than the 3.4.x version before. After I found the new "Lock in Place" switch in the desktop menu under "Icons" I hoped to get rid of the moving icons after very restart of the KDE desktop caused in the two top panels I'm using. The icons move downwards on desktop with the pixelsize of the two panels. But the new lock does not really help with the icons positions. With 3.4.x apps windows (kwatch, konsole, xosview) also did move in the same way, if they had contact with the panels on one or more sides. This is fixed with 3.5.0. Very cool! Any hint? Or is this still a bug? Regards, Juergen -- ### Juergen Lennefer ### Kuerten ### Germany ###
