Meanwhile, I got a hardware exception, apparently relating the the system RAM, so I ran a recent version of memtest86 overnight and found nothing wrong. Time to start again with a new installation and a new user. Same problem as before, but now the three instances of gkrellm shimmer around their edges unless I move them away from the screen corners. I suppose this is an artefact of GTK2 and its ageing. Moreover, the two latest versions of Firefox do not show as they should. There's no upper frame, the min/max/stop buttons appearing in the tab bar instead - in the wrong decoration style: I have the Plastik scheme set, but the buttons are shown in something similar to the Breeze scheme. And middle- click and right-click on the maximise button have no effect. I can't find anything here to explain my problems, so I've raised https:// bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471977 -- Regards, Peter.
