Thanks everyone for the replies on this. The reason I ask is I continue to struggle to get KDE4 to work the way I want. Or perhaps I should say the way it works on Linux. I've used FreeBSD for several years, but this is the first time I'd tried to make a graphical interface work with it. Perhaps that's a question/problem for another list and best not posted here.
