Kbear messing up taskbar
by Eric Wagar 01 Nov '04

01 Nov '04

I am seeing problems when using Kbear on SuSE9.2 (fresh install). When I load Kbear, the KDE taskbar will crowd together thw tasks in the taskbar, and open up a lot of in between items on the "System Tray". Once I close Kbear, the proper spacing will return, but not immediately. Has anyone else seen this, and is there something I can do to fix the issue? (I'm new to Linux, and especially SuSE/KDE, so I may get my terms incorrect.) Thanks eric

Problem with KDE 3.3 Window Handling
by Ascaris Lepis 01 Nov '04

01 Nov '04

Hi, I just upgraded my SuSE 9.0 to the new SUSE 9.2 with KDE 3.3 Everything works fine exept that that new Window Handling in the KDE 3.3 drives me mad. My Problem is simple. In the former Version of KDE (includec with SUSE 9.0) window tiling (having multiple KDE windows overlapping each other) worked that way, that inactive windows were below the active window and could be made active by clicking on the Menu/Move Bar of that Window. Then that window became active and moved ON TOP of all other Windows (as you are used to it in M$ Windows). With the new KDE (SuSE 9.2) it does not seem to work that way anymore. Now a window can be active but still is below another non-active window. Or a non-active window still overlaps with an active window hiding the region of that active window. New Windows/Message Boxes are always opened below all other (and escpially the active) Window so you have to switch to the new window/message box. I tried playing around with those new "Keep above/below Others" Buttons and Windows behavior settions. I cannot get it to work as I am used to it... Please can anyone help ? Thankx Dirk --

Panel Applet Icon Groupings
by Randall R Schulz 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

Hi, I recently removed the klipper applet from my panel. When I realized that this shutdown the klipper application entirely and the scripts I use to manipulate the clipboard stopped working, I decided to restart the klipper applet. However, now it's in its own section of the panel and I cannot seem to get it to merge into or reside within the existing panel section that holds all the other applet and application icons (not the taskbar, things like the Gaim and KSetiSpy icons). Does anyone know how I can get the klipper icon into the other icon section? Thanks. Randall Schulz

kcontrol crashes SIGSEGV
by Juergen Pfeiffer 27 Oct '04

27 Oct '04

My File Server has Suse Linux 9.0 with KDE 3.1.4 installed. If i use the local X-Display for loging in and getting a KDE environment, everything is fine (i can lauch kcontrol from the Start-menu or from a console window.) If i am using a remot X-Server (X-WinPro 5.0) with 8-Bit Color, nearly anyning is ok, but i cannot start kcontrol. I get a SIGSEGV message shortly after launch. A lot of other KDE-Apps are working ok. If i am using the remot X-Server with 16 or 24-Bit Color, i get a lot of crashes when starting kde (konqueror, ksplash ...) What can be the reason and how can i fix the problem? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jürgen Pfeiffer * _mailto:j.pfeiffer@seskion.de_ SesKion Softwareentwicklung und System Konzeption GmbH ( : +49-711-9905814 Karlsruher Str. 11/1 Fax: +49-711-9905827 D-70771 Leinfelden-Echterdingen 1 _http://www.seskion.de_ ------------------------------------------------------------------------

RE: Problem with CD-ROM Drive
by Lugg William H Civ OO-ALC/MASFE 27 Oct '04

27 Oct '04

Well, Last night I went home a tried the fix recommended by S. Kratz (whose email I unfortunately deleted) and found after installing Powertweak that the autoeject option was already set to 0. So, I'm back to square one. Are there any other thoughts on how to correct the problem described below?

When I log in to KDE the CD tray opens. If I close it, it waits about 1 minute and opens again. I find that I can still read CDs, but I'm concerned I'm going to hit the tray and break it at some point. What might be causing this and how do I fix it?

Kmail and GnuPG
by Mark 26 Oct '04

26 Oct '04

Hello everybody! I've just started to use KDE 3.3.1 and I have a particular question regarding Kmail and GnuPG. I cannot find a way to get Kmail to auto retrive keys to verify messages. I have set: "keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve" in gpg.conf but this doesn't help with Kmail. I've had a quick Google for an answer but came up blank. Does anyone know if a) if it's possible and b) what I need to set. Thanks in advance. Mark
