Ever since the lastest kde updates many of my (and other users - as demonstrated by various posts) have made my system less rather than more usable (from a GUI/KDE perspective). I fully understand that bugs are inherent to the upgrade process, however the amount of problems I'm having
No they aren't. That's Redmond talk. An upgrade can be smooth, and in my case it has been.
of late is getting very annoying. Konq won't open URL's in links in emails, or from the "run command" destop menu, Kpackage is blind, and
Can you run konqi at all? Do you get any errors i ~/.xsession-errors?
having followed Anders (I believe it was him) who found a fix. Unless a really missed something, that hasn't worked in my case. And I don't get how a Kpackage could not include *.rpm extension?
What did you do?
SuSEConfig keeps telling me that Gnome and WMaker has no name? I went to both the kde.org and suse sites and can't find the Koffice package version that was mentioned in a previous post that fixed Matt sys concerning this issue and can't find that
Are you running the same version of SuSE that Matt is? Note that suse releases different build numbers of packages for different versions of the suse dist.
specific version. Oh, and what's up with ksockets in my system tray, sometimes it's there and other times (mostly) it's not. I have a cable modem and a nic - why is this trying to run - does it get confused and think I have a 56k modem of something?

Please don't misunderstand, I'm quite happy with the state of development of SuSE Linux. I just am very frustrated. It' seems that in the transition from kde 2.2.2 to kde 3.0.x that there is a lot of coding issues to be resolved. I know that SuSE is working on this and expect updates in a fairly timely manner - they are usually very good about this. I just had to vent my angst.
Am I to understand that you've started running kde3 already? Well, so have I, but note that kde3 is still in beta. There are many things not yet ported to it. It is very much a work in progress. Don't go there if you want a smooth system. regards Anders
