Hi, Well, that's odd. I got that drag thing to, I ignored it. It let me change mine from the gallery thingy. I selected that happy guy. :-)
Mine listed dale and dale2. dale2 is my backup to test weirdness after a upgrade. It also listed new user but I didn't go there. Just for giggles. [ebuild R ~] kde-plasma/systemsettings-5.10.3:5::gentoo USE="gtk handbook -classic -debug" There's not really many USE flag options there. Hmmmmmm. Dale :-) :-) Mark Knecht wrote: > Hello again, > Yes, mine asked me for root password which I gave.
