Is there any place I could find more on when is it safe to upgrade KDE? "wipe out the config files" is the official or semi-official answer to such problems. But debugging the problems themselves seems to be quite impossible. Is there a better way? This feature is common also to mozilla. I assume that gnome and openoffice will have the same problem. Are there decent ways of deubggining such problems? -- Tzafrir Cohen A user with a much simpler desktop configuration mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
