Sorry about that. I got 2.4 up easily on woody.

When I log in from kdm, the mouse pointer freezes after a few
seconds even in icewm. This is a woody install from scratch.

While the beautiful debian picture is great on kdm, I want to
change it. Not the backround, but the inset next to where you type in
username. Where is this image? Can I over write it w/ my own image?
Fred
I agree w/ this philosophy otherwise I would not be here.
However, I might point out for those of you who would like a
stable kde, there is:

Install sudo and add a line to that allows you run these programs w/o a

Good luck.

The question for people here is running kde 3.0 debs going to give you a
lock _without_ vmware. Having had a lock in the past (kde 2.2, IIRC), I
think this could be likely.
Where is the lock, on the big-screen or virtual?

Looks like moc is segfaulting. Run moc on the cli:
moc
It should segfault also.
Maybe do an
