[Albert Wagner <alwagner@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Ben.  I use konqueror which normally does all of that, including 
resume.  But occasionally I get that dialog and was just curious about the 
inconsistency.  I strongly suspect that my machine is just so small (64Mb) 
that KDE just gets lost swapping.  BTW, thank you for being so gracious to me 
and patient with my questions after I posted a rant and whine.  I have 
already become a true believer in SuSE and YAST2.  And thanks to yourself and 
others a true believer in this mail list as well.
