I've been going through the same issues - I was led to the suggestion that the gnome-settings-daemon needed to be running, and suggestions to put that in autostart. That definitely worked, but caused endless other headaches due to some gnome settings stomping over my KDE settings(running a screensaver, affecting key-repeats). I'm convinced this is *not* the best way to deal with it. I'm still waiting for someone to suggest the "proper" way, if it exists...:P
Once upon a time there was an effort to create a common desktop configuration framework. I don't know if that is a healthy idea for either the GNOME or the KDE. Having independence to experiment without having to take compatability into account is a valuable freedom. OTOH, it would be nice if there were hooks in the KDE for GNOME settings, or in YaST? To be quite honest, I was looking at GNOME yesterday, and realized one of the things I don't like about it is that settings are applied immediately, and there is no "commit" mechanism. The current problem is an example of how the lack of such a commit mechanism causes problems. Steven
