I have these monster files that look like text enough to fool kwrite into trying to open them if the user accidentally clicks them.
Users running dolphin occasionally click to focus, and accidentally launch kwrite which tries to open the file, and since they are very large, they consume all available memory, and pretty much kill opensuse 11.4.
It becomes so unresponsive you have a hard time killing the task, and even if you do, X becomes non-responsive.
What can settings can I make so that these files don't look like text?

Or, in your case, remove the programs to launch the file type. I guess its not much different with dolphin either. BTW, why not use single click to select, double click to launch in the GUI so that there wont be accidental file launches ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
