Icons for Windows drives -- how to make them "stay put"? [s9.0]
I have "a bunch" of windows drives -- up through "G" -- and on the prior version of SuSE & KDE the "icons" that were created for them pretty much "stayed put" on my desktop [though it could be hard to tell -- I usually keep my systems on 24x7 and log out/in about once a month] However, with 9.0 "something" is a little screwy and I'm finding my system "locked up" hard (reset switch time :( ) After rebooting and logging in, the icons for the windows drives are "where I left them" at first, but about the time the "tip of the day" shows up, KDE auto-rearranges them somewhat randomly across my screen -- damn annoying it is! What am I missing in order to keep KDE from moving the icons about? -- Yet another Blog: http://osnut.homelinux.net

.... r-click desktop, check 'icons' settings. what are they? . Sounds like Susewatcher unless you don't have a routine that does check for updates on a regular basis ( cronjob or script or whatever ) kill it remove it from your start bar which IIRC is right click on the icon, select quit and when it gives you the blurb about how it's protecting you, and would you like it to start ( automagically ) when you logon say no . After that your icons *should* stay where you put em...

I'll buy that :)

Hmmm... don't have one [yet], but I may resolve this by year's end

Hmmm again: does Susewatcher also do nice things like notice that I've plugged in a USB device and toss an icon for the device onto the desktop? If so, I'll be in a bit of a bind because that is a feature I'd like -- where should I go to "configure" susewatcher to do what I want and leave the rest alone? [or if such a configuration doesn't exist, would this be the place to request it since (obviously) this is a suse-specific program?] -- Yet another Blog: http://osnut.homelinux.net
