Did you spell the names "~./kde" or "~/.kde"? There's a sizeable difference between the two, and you want "~/.kde" not "~./kde".
Tnx Boyd. The directory file is in my home directory so I assume ~/.kde
I only ask because your message consistently spelled it "~./kde".
Having a look at ~/ I see there is a /.kde and /.kde4 directory so I guess I should rename both?
Probably just the one that corresponds to the version of KDE you are using.
Sorry Nordi the 'using binary search' concept flew over my head.
"Binary search" to find problematic files in .kde:
Tnx for the explanation but it would seem the renaming of a directory is FAR easier. :)
Maybe. Depends on how long it takes you to reconstruct your settings. After the binary search technique nearly all your setting are there. After renaming the directory nearly all your settings are gone. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
