Hi Peter,
Don't know - i cannot look at my 10.1 install now, bit this is in the look and feel portion of KDE's Control center. But i had a similar failre with Mandriva after a KDE upgrade that i solved by just changing the KDE configration files manually (a workaround - i admit).
... I found it again. :-) It's in the KDE menu: KDE -> Settings -> Appearance & Themes -> Launch Feedback Hence solved. Thanks very much anyway. :-)
I did this and it will work if you chown all he files to be for the new user. Once i had problems with temporary files (they were stillowned by the ld user) created in the /var directory but hat was when i changed it afterwards. But is shows where you maybe can encounter problems.
... great. This information helps a great deal. Thanks a lot. :-) I thought it might work this way but wasn't sure.
There is also KDE's kiosk to change settings for all usres. tried tis once, but t is more work than this.
... also, I want to clone my settings which is definitely easier and faster using cp and chown. :-)
Don't know. Maybe you have gaim in the KDE autostart folder and it also s launched in another way. That causes behaviour like this.
... no, I don't have it in the Autostart folder. I found some settings for advanced window configuration: KDE -> Settings -> Desktop -> Windows -> Specific Settings There one can define the window behavior for specific applications. I tried that and it works when Gaim is started from command line, but not with it's autostart function. I'll try disabling that, putting Gaim into the Autostart folder and use that feature then. Maybe this works.
Maybe it can work automatically. My experience is that mozilla and thunderbird look at the 'myspell' files in the 'components' directory. I cannot find an rpm for Thunderbird that will do this automatically with suse (there should be international files).
Youan do it the all manual way: - You will have to install he proper myspell files (for the german language). - This will put the .aff and .dic files in /usr/share/myspell - Make a symbolic link from this files to (for thunderbird) /usr/lib/thunderbird/components/myspell (don'tknow why it is here. For mozilla it was always in /opt/mozilla/lib/components/myspell) - If you change the '_' in the symbolic link names to '-' (as in de-DE.aff) the name shows nicer when choosing a language. - Restart thunderbird - et voila
btw: i like mozilla/thunderbird too. Especially because it works across operating systems (i share my profile partially with windows via smbolic links). And imap support in kmail never did work.
... cool. I'll give that a try. :-)
What i dislike is the gtk/ font problems that occur now and then.
... I use the XiG X server which has its own font stuff mostly. It works great and I don't have the font problems. I used to have them too when using Xorg and Xfree86. So I know what you're talking about. -- cul8er Paul paul.foerster@gmx.net
