Hi, How about not using kde and just using something lite like blackbox or fvwm and *then* fire up kmail there? I know kmail had/has issues with attachments etc from any other app then kde, but I'm sure these issues will be addressed sooner or later.
kde here starts fairly pain free. I kill kdm as soon as it starts (it's annoying) and log in as normal at my first console, then start another app in console 5 and log into console 11 (which starts x on 12). Start up is about 10-20 seconds after latest release for potato. I keep it simple, and have a root part and swap part on hda. fwiw. tatah On Monday 30 April 2001 12:30, Robert Guthrie wrote: > I've been dealing with this problem for about a month (maybe > shorter/longer...
