Personal Settings on the menu is now working fine (no blank left side).
Really? Did you add the Hidden.directory line? And what package desktop-data-openSUSE is installed?
Oops, you are right; I did make the Hidden.directory mod to the xml file a while ago. But the system update today installed/upgraded desktop-data-openSUSE to 11.4-16.3 from repo-oss (according to the zypper log file), and it still worked afterwards; in other words, the update did not change the previously modified xml file. Mea Culpa.
However, I still have HAL installed; should I delete it?
Yes. Try to remove it.
Not a whole lot of fun, that one. Taking HAL out also takes out (I allowed): - kdebase3_SuSE-11.3-22.2.i586 - kdebase3_SuSE-lang-11.3-22.2.noarch - kde3-kio-sysinfo-11.3-??.11.i586 After logging out & back in, the panel is effectively blank (even minimized windows aren't shown, no menu button, systray, kmix gone, etc), desktop icons don't have text below them, and firefox 6 acted a bit strange at times, including no edit-search function. That's to start with. I didn't go further. For the record, the official message (3 exactly the same) after login but just before the desktop loaded, leading to the blank stuff everywhere, was: "KDE Panel - applet could not be loaded". Getting back HAL and the three modules above that were deleted was fun, since you really have to search for them ... they aren't in factory, it seems. Anyway, I've restored them and everything is back. If this is the effect of HAL being removed in 12.1, KDE 3 on that version is not looking good, is it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help@opensuse.org
