Hi! I run kde 3.1 (redhat 9) and I run into this problem for the second time now: First, I tried to open the trash can on my desktop. Nothing happened. (I found the reason later, a kdeinit instance was taking 99.9% cpu time.) I tried changing the file association of 'directory' to opening with konqueror. As a result, I can't open devices (partitions etc) from the desktop anymore, I get a message saying (my translation from swedish) "KFM-run: receiving data from devices not supported". Also, I can't start konqueror from the task bar anymore. Last time this happened I had to delete my whole .kde directory (all my precious settings!) to fix this. What should I do now?? I deleted the directory and hdd_mounted entries from .kde/share/mimelnk but it didn't help either. -- Cheers, Tom Weber ___________________________________________________ .
