So I decided to throw caution to the wind and install the KDE3 debs.
Unfortunately, two Very Bad Things are now plague me. One, I can only use
kppp as root. It says that it cannot open the modem when I try as a normal

Would anyone care to recommend a good KDE cd-burner program ? I went to
apps.kde.com and was a little overwhelmed at the choices. Seems as though
there are several highly rated programs--is there any that stands above the
crowd?

It was not necessary to do that. MS simply removed the fonts from their

Forgive the slightly off-topic nature of this post, but I am in the process
of building a computer for a friend and was planning on installing Debian (Sid)

Does anyone know how to specify that a certain window should be
borderless in
KDE? I looked at kstart, but there was nothing there about making borderless
windows. Google revealed that kstart once had a '--decoration None' option,
but that seems to be no longer the case in 3.1.

Well, after my last inquiry regarding borderless windows (it looks like
kpager spawns a child process of itself, which is why it doesn't honor the
--type Override request), I thought that kstart might still have the answer
with the --window command. From the (sparse) documentation, it lo

I'm having a minor issue with KDM on my shiny new laptop; I've got it
set up
so that I loads on both vt7 and vt8. /etc/kde3/kdm/Xservers looks like this:

I'm trying to enable Unicode on my system, but ran into a little
trouble with
konsole. I have a file that is UTF-8 encoded, but when I view it with 'less'
in konsole, I see the two-character representation, rather than a single
glyph, even with konsole's font settings set to "Unicode".

I'm scratching my head over this one: I'd set my console environment to
UTF-8, but it didn't show up correctly in Konsole. Instead of Unicode
characters, I got a lot of two-byte characters, like Á¶ and all that. I was
using a Unicode-capable font, and everything should have worked fine,

Care to be a little more specific? I went through it before I posted, but
perhaps I missed something. What section should I look in? All I saw was how
to switch around the order of the buttons.
