Those messages get lost if started from another X program, including KDE / GNOME menus or control centers. I assume that this particular message had always appeared, but no user ever saw it (or none ever bothered about it). The question is: Is there any real problem with that, or is it just an irrelevant message? Were there any problems with input?

Then I fear VNC users will have to live with that for this release. We are phasing out Qt-3 anyway, so the bug will fix itself with the next release that will be use Qt-4. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
