Hello All , Thanks Mike for your help ! I wish I had asked you my questions BEFORE spending 2 days on XF86Condig-4 file... I have switched from 4.2.0 to 4.1.0 and colormap stopped to flash. Neverthless I have to use simple WM like almost bare fvwm2 for Cadence to work with. The XFree86 developpers are willing to release 4.3.0 in January so I will simply wait for that release. BTW: Is there in KDE WM an option, like in CDE that : 'leave most colors for applications'. If not, would someone recommend me steps to limit colors taken from default colormap upon KDE startup ? I have already done simple steps like making background solid , lowcolor icons etc.. cheers, w. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Wojciech BIALAS, CERN EP/MIC/FE, bld 14 5-007, Geneva, Switzerland phone: +41227677216, fax: +41227673394 e-mail <Wojciech.Bialas@cern.ch> ----------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ xfree86-list mailing list xfree86-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/xfree86-list IRC: #xfree86 on irc.redhat.com
