Just to follow up to my previous question: I got a little help from the folks on the #debian-kde IRC channel and they suggested backing up some packages. I started doing that, but it was messy, so, since I am running under VMWare, I went back to a previous, working snapshot, and started upgrading packages one at a time....
The culprit is xserver-xfree86. Nothing KDE/QT involved at all -- though it does just seem to affect QT controls. Now I'm thinking maybe it's an xserver-xfree86 / VMWare interaction. Can someone suggest where I might ask about what changed between xserver-xfree86 Versions 4.2.1-10 and 4.2.1-11? I'm already following up with VMWare, but I'd like to tackle it from both sides. Thanks to those that contacted me with help. IanW --- Ian Williamson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Software Engineer/ASIC Project Manager NovAtel Inc.
