In that case, it's possible it was theme related. Maybe one of the themes you had configured is corrupted? FWIW, when I find a bad config file, I tend to isolate it to the section and then the line via bisection, just to satisfy my own curiosity about what specific bit of the config it was, so I know. But a lot of folks are simply happy they found the problem and didn't have to blow away the entire kde config, and leave it at the file level. The problem for me is that, to paraphrase the old slogan, this "inquiring mind wants to know!" since until I nail down exactly where the problem was, I have little control over it happening again, and worse, I'll be in the same predicament if it does! Even if tracing it to a single line (or at least file section) doesn't help me prevent the problem again, as it may not, at least a single line of config isn't /that/ much to redo or avoid, if it comes to it. Certainly way less than an entire config file in most cases. Tho of course a single config file is still way less than the entire kde user config, which is enough for most people, I guess. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
