I too had this not so long ago after an update. I had to manually go into kmail and reset the fonts.
Well, being a windows-weenie, i first rebooted to see if anything changed. Nada.
Consider that a lesson then. In Linux you rarely have to reboot. I just checked the uptime on one of my home systems: 1:15pm up 248 days 3:09, 2 users, load average: 1.07, 0.99, 0.91
That's over 35 weeks of uptime and the last reboot was due to a UPS battery replacement.
You don't use "networkmanager" do you James? I agree on the rarely need to reboot. I have had similar uptimes in excess of 400 days, shortened only by hurricane Rita with servers using the traditional ifup method for network device control. However, I will swear that when networkmanager goes on the blink, no amount of "rcnetwork restart" "rcnetwork stop/start" or otherwise will fix it. It's disheartening, but I too try the reboot on that occasion. Trouble is -- it works...
I only use Knetworkmanager on my ThinkPad, which has both ethernet and WiFi and I also often use static configs, as well as DHCP. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
