My advice is to create a way where you can reproduce that problem exactly on your machine (distribution?) and afterwards fill a bug report at bugs.kde.org or at the bugzilla of your distribution to follow the problem with the help of other developers. Some more information valuable could be: - Does that happen for other users as well? - Does that happen on other installations of that distribution? - Have you checked that the file system where $HOME/.kde is mounted is really mounted rw? Are there any files probably only equipped with read-rights somewhere in the config dir? Regards, Roland PS: Yes, the rw-question looks stupid, but sometimes the most stupid ideas are the solution ;) -- Roland Wolters Tel.: +49 (0)21 61 / 46 43-181 pgp fingerprint: D2DE 4612 9C7D 7B7A 420D 84A8 E900 29F9 C16C 2283 credativ GmbH, HRB Mönchengladbach 12080 Hohenzollernstr. 133, 41061 Mönchengladbach Geschäftsführung: Dr. Michael Meskes, Jörg Folz
