I used 'gvim' as my editor. I did: <ESC>:wq. And nothing showed upin my window. I tried editing again, and got a new temp file. I disabledgvim composer. Then I found where the temp files are kept and cut-and-pastedmy original letter in.

Perhaps you KDE folks should have a word or two with the Fedora dudesabout putting out releases with your ALPHA software making KDE lookbad? But, also, seriously, if this is what I can expect in KDE 6 or whatever you call it when it's not alpha anymore, then I'm not impressed.I liked how it used to look. It was clean and simple. I seriously don'tunderstand the desire for dancing windows instead of a clean presentation.I liked KDE3 save for some bugs. And I like BeOS/Tracker a LOT. But,this seems like a step in the wrong direction.
I write elsewhere that perhaps I'll give ubuntu a try. They're thenew kids on the block. I didn't trust them. I've been using RH/FCsince circa 1995. I wanted to stick with the old "friend", but alasRedhat doesn't seem to care about normal desktop users anymore.As for debian, I've never been a fan; they are GPL zealots.
