Fine. Have fun. Or... perhaps the silence is because no one has experienced the same problem you're describing, and many are loathe to jump in with nothing to say. Me, no fear <grin>. Occasionally I have had problems tracking KDE, and have had to try to fix it using some of the methods you're describing (removing all user .kde and .kderc stuff, etc, etc.) Let me tell you that I am successfully running KDE 2.2.2 on my workstation and laptop NOW. So it does work. Why yours doesn't??? I presume you're running Sid? or is it Woody, with KDE packages from Sid? I haven't seen that you said. This is one of the "problems" with these extensive desktop enviroments - they get deeply entangled in the system - a borked package is hard to root out. Have you considered backing up your data, and installing fresh. I know, that's a redmondian solution, but you are running unstable packages, so ... ? best of luck, .brian PS: Re message from Justin Miller about kio_fish. THANKS! I didn't know that existed. It rocks. Makes a number of ops easier for me. .b -- Brian Bilbrey "The ships hung in the sky in [EMAIL PROTECTED] much the same way that bricks don't." www.orbdesigns.com Doug Adams, H2G
