I tried running the three applications I mentioned earlier (linneighborhood, usbview and jpilot) from the command line in the hope that there would be some helpful output (maybe a missing library or font) but had no luck. I also don't think that GNOME is the problem since GNOME applications (for instance Galeon) look fine on my KDE desktop.

I tried that, but just as when I ran GNOME after reading your previous post, none of the settings had any effect on the problematical applications. > If you did a fresh install for 10.1, then its quite possible that your > installation choices caused Mandrake to get different defaults for the > GNOME fonts then what you got on 10.0. Mandrake doesn't ask any questions about how to set up GNOME. Either you install it or you don't. As far as available fonts, programs, resources etc, I installed literally everything since I have enough disk space and didn't want any missing dependancies etc. Again, as I wrote above, I don't think this is a GNOME problem. > > >BTW - this is a completely different problem, but something strange > > happened when I ran GNOME.

That worked. Thanks. BTW, there's a conflict between kkbswitch and kxkb ( the builtin KDE keyboard mapping tool), so kxkb MUST be disabled to use kkbswitch. -- Shlomo Solomon http://come.to/shlomo.solomon Sent by KMail 1.7.1 (KDE 3.2.3) on LINUX Mandrake 10.1 ================================================================= 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]
