I have KDE2 running on SuSE 7.0 pro version. When I'm using netscape (or rather when I click on the location textbox in netscape) sometime this really annoying menu comes up that takes the focus away from netscape. This happens about every other time I do this...
The menu has the following choices on it: Web-URL- Actions for http://whateverwebsite Open with Netscape Open with Konqi ==================== Edit and process again Do nothing
Is there any way to stop this menu from appearing? I've looked around in the Control Center and found nothing that looked like it to me. I've also looked in the kde help and found nothing. Or am I just clicking on it in the wrong way?
The thing you refer to is called 'klipper' and it manages your selection for you. Well, that's what they claim. "Gets in the friggin' way" might be a better description. Go down to the panel, and right click on the clipboard icon in the docking bar. Select "Quit" and it will go away. The thing is, it will restart when you log in again because it's actually kicked off from the script which starts KDE2. I don't know where SuSE put that script (I work from hand compiled CVS sources) but this should work: vi `which startkde` as root (those are backticks, not single quotes). This will fire up the vi editor with the script. Find the line which looks like: LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kdesktop +kcminit +kicker +klipper +khotkeys kwrited and remove the +klipper bit. Save and log out, then log in again and it should have gone for good.
I'm not sure how to check what version of netscape I have... Whatever came with SuSE 7, I'm sure.
Probably not relevant, but for your reference: Help->About Communicator from the Netscape menu.
