-- That's interesting, my experience is the either way round. Had Flash working great but not Java. After the JRE1.1.3 install these symptoms appeared. I still think it reeks of X because of the strange behaviour of my Wacom. On the other hand it's user specific KDE settings that do this. Using another Windowmanager like windowmaker enabled me to open konq as filemanager no problem as did any other user on the machine. I haven't retried yet, but next time I do I'll create a 'test'user first. Good Luck, Harm Bathoorn. "Looking for kicks? Try digital Russian Roulette; Use Outlook Express"
