I have seen the same thing happen in KDE specific distributions *without* the hated GNOME anywhere near. Mandrake comes to mind. If whoever deals with KDE for Fedora 'fixes' this catastrophic error in Fedora the other poor unfortunate users of KDE in other distributions will still suffer from this tragically, terrible 'wrong day' problem. That's why I suggested that he write to KDE's bugzilla. Or even to the Fedora bugzilla. Speaking here, on a 'help me please list' sure as heck won't fix anything unless a developer/packager happens to read this and take notice. ;-) - -- David -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) iD8DBQFHXINQAO0wNI1X4QERAqNcAJ0TGMyCLdKjV0VaOELPJD4cqGladQCgxAxc rped7SzGA2oroB5JpAaKLXo= =OS+8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
