Now for the real problem that remains and it doesn't involve PMMail at all, only KMail (or perhaps FireFox). Anytime she presses a URL in an EMAIL message to launch FireFox, it correctly does this EXCEPT that it launches it in the SAME WINDOW as KMAIL.... EVEN IF FIREFOX is ALREADY RUNNING in another window. If FF is already running, it 'steals' that session and moves it from whatever session window it was in to the session window that KMail is open in. In order to get it back, she has to move FFox to the original desktop window manually. As she often is using several desktops for various applications, browser, mail, editing documents, etc., it is disconcerting to have her browser 'jump' to her mail desktop.

I normally use four desktops and prefer to have at least Kmail on desktop 1 and Firefox on desktop 4. I disliked this above mentioned behavior very much myself and have solved this for me by giving Firefox a designated desktop.Same with Kmail. They both stay in their desktops and do not jump around any more ;). Right click on the top bar of Firefox / Kmail choose Advanced-->Special Application Settings...., and force the application to remain on its desktop. You will find it always where you put it.
That is precicely my (and her) setup.... I puttzed around with the settings in that 'advanced-->special' thingy you suggested and I found that it took TWO settings to make it work the way it used to under TBird, but it WORKED!! Thank you. The settings I changed were: 1) In 'advanced--settings-->Geometry' where I checked 'Desktop' and selected '4' in my case. and 2) in ....-->Preferences' I had to select "Accept Focus" <Forced> {x} After that, it seems to work the way TBird does without having to set those options. I always used to have my FFox in Desktop 4 and it never moved before I installed KMail. For insurance, I did the same thing for KMail except I didn't have to do step (2) to make it work.
