Hello,

I want to change some icons from "?" to the desired icon on the desktop, I installed the software packetages afterwards therefore the owner-ship is root. I ran first chmod to change it as user, then chown and finally I changed the icons as root, but in all cases the change only lasted for a few days. I am using SuSE 8.0 and KDE 3.0.

any ideas? thanks Martin

"Darwin", hm? Cool. Those changes you see are due to spastic responses K has to the act of configuration. First of all, it sounds like you're running as root. Bad idea. You could visit a webpage with a 'bug' that could instantly root your system. (ever get one of those porn come-ons?) So set up and use a user account for yourself as a matter of course. As a user I always run Konq File Manager as root, and a KonsoleSU window, and I can do everything I would as root, yet surf and do everything else as a user. Trouble is, K is sick right now, and you'll need some help doing that, so ask. Second, K3.0.3 is the 'least ill' of all current 3 releases, so if you're not running that, go to SuseFTP Supplementary dir and get it. All icons are under ~/.kde/share/icons and /opt/kde3/share/icons. If you want them to be available system-wide, put icons in the latter. Permissions should be root with all-read in global, and set to the user if in their home. Then when you set up a user it will stick. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAj2e3z8ACgkQnQ18+PFcZJtblgCeLlEctUyKvFc/69p4ucqnE4Bq FysAnj/YSjQenVP92b7PTPtzvRpQyD8K =Mgc9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
