I played a little with this one and I realized that it does not matter whether I use libarts or libarts-alsa (using alsa 0.9beta9 including OSS emulation). I must restart the sound server (and the only way I found was to force control center to do it after changing any settings) - then I get sound under 2.2.2 - until I quit KDE. > 2) Fonts for non-KDE apps: > > I use Opera.

It seems that KDE forgets registering fonts to qt (or something like that) at startup and does that correctly when updating system settings. > 3) Battery Monitor does not show up automatically on starting KDE. > > Again, the same thing: It shows up as soon as I "change" its setting > under Power Control -> Battery Monitor twice, ie to the same setting as > before, and APPLY.

It's enough to click "apply" under "Power control" -> "Battery monitor"; I don't even need to update any setting there. Battery monitor shows up immediately after clicking "APPLY". > 4) Konsole Thanks to all who replied on this. I am now using konsole 2.2.1 again, this avoids the bug. As to 1) - 3), I would file bug reports if anybody could confirm these. Thomas -- Thomas Winischhofer Vienna/Austria Check it out: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.webit.com/tw
