Well, my previous email about logging out and back in has not made it back yet. I logged out and back in and things are better. But there is one thing that still bugs me. If it wants to play more than one sound, it only plays one. One way I noticed this is if I put my mouse on the bottom where the desktop selection thing is then move the wheel, it only plays one sound, the first one then it can't play anymore for a few seconds. It used to play them all at the same time, if I switch through more than one desktop. I also noticed earlier this morning that someone hit me up on Kopete, the one app that has been working so far, and I was changing desktops. The desktop sound played fine but the only way I knew Kopete opened a chat window was that it turned the button blue at the bottom. It could not play a sound for Kopete since something else had it in use I guess. I can play a CD and the other sounds work fine. It just seems that KDE can only play one sound and that it has to wait a few seconds before it can play anything else.

At least we made progress. Thanks Dale :-) :-)
