Re: [SLE] KDE 1.1.2 Menues
Tim, Thanks for the tip, I guess I'll have to do that. But, there's just one curious thing. I installed SuSE 6.4, same as mine, on my boy's computer, same setup, except that their monitor is a 14", resolution set to 800X600, mine is a 15", resolution is set to 1024X768. On their computer, the Utilities menu has a MORE> buttom at the bottom! Mine doesn't! I wonder if it's the resolution that's doing it. I think I'll try setting mine to 800X600 and see what happens.

Jerry, I encountered the same problem, and found the best thing was to use KMenuEdit to create subcategories, and move some of the apps over to the new categories. SuSE included so many apps, large categories are just too big! :-)

Hello, I have SuSE 6.4, fresh install, using KDE. When I click on the "K" button, and point to Utilities, the Utilities menu stretches from the top to the bottom of the screen. I know that there are more items on the menu that cannot be seen. Does anybody know whats up with this and how to fix it?

Font size maybe? Is one machine running X with 100dpi fonts or something? Are you sure you are running KDE-1.1.2 on the problem machine? (Did you do a clean install or an upgrade?) The chopped-off-menu problem was fixed in the move from KDE-1.1.1 to KDE-1.1.2. I've not heard of anyone suffering the problem with 1.1.2. If you want a KDE expert to investigate, ask on the KDE list. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

How do I check the font size, I was not aware of such a thing as font size in X. Yes, I am running KDE 1.1.2. I used the same SuSE CDs to install on both machines. Both were a fresh install of SuSE 6.4. As for the KDE List, I never thought of that. Thank you, I will try it. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

I don't know how to check the font dpi setting when X is running. If you use xdm or kdm have a look at the file /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers. You see a line like :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt07 -dpi 100 (There might be several, find the first uncommented one.) My line above has the -dpi 100, which means I run with 100dpi fonts. The default is 75dpi fonts. (This is basically the difference between large fonts and small fonts as seen on Windows' Display control panel applet.) I'd have thought you would have the same settings on both your machines, so this is probably a red herring. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

My first UNcommented line looks like this: :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt07 Thats all, no dpi setting. And, it's the same on the good machine. So, I'm going to assume that's not it. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
