Hi, Just installed SuSE 11.1 with KDE 4.1. KDE 4.1 will take some getting used to. A few questions: What is the "plasma dashboard"? I started it from icon at bottom of screen and all it did was put a tiny message up at the top of the screen saying "Plasma" and make everything else disappear. Clicking anywhere caused the "Plasma" message to go away and everything else to come back. Not sure what this is supposed to do. When I first logged in there was a strange semi transparent window showing with some normal desktop icons in it. I closed the window to see what would happen and now can't get it back. Where did it go and where did my desktop icons go? Every time I open a console window it alternates it shape from vertical rectangle to horizontal rectangle. How can I get it to only open as a vertical rectangle? The way things are going I will probably have more questions?
