I found something useful on my sound problem on KDE.
I opened an xterm and typed kde2 -h to see what my options are ... well
kde started again.
But it threw an interesting error:

but the ls -l shows the permissions to be lrwxrwxrwx
bleah!
I am using a kernel sound module for my notebook (cs46xx).
I can get the sound to work.
But yesterday while playing around I started up KDE (as root) from the
command line - I normally use 'kdm'. I was greeted with all kinds of
sound effects - startup sounds, clicky sounds, windows open/close

Where can I get these totally cool transparent term windows?
Is there a simple one out there some place?
I'm confused.
When I download a theme from kde.classic.themes.org it stores it as a
tar in /tmp.
But I can't untar it or anything else useful with it.
It was trying to run 'ark' every download, but that was failing like

So I removed ark ( no appa

I have a window setting of 1152 x 864. At least that's what XF86Config-4
says.
Everything that I open in KDE seems to fill up about 80% of the screen. An
80x24 term window is 50% height and 75% width with a font setting of 'tiny'.
This seems a little larger than it should be.

This question may offend some, but I just have to ask it.
Background:
While advocating the virtues of Linux to my wife, I convinced her to
start her term paper on AbiWord (about 2 years ago). By the third page
of her paper, everything crashed in AbiWord and it was simply incapable

You should most definitely upgrade to KDE 2.2.1 and KOffice 1.1 in that

How do I do that?

This might sound strange, but some very limited experiments here show
My hard drive is set up to park after 60 seconds of use.
It does that just fine.
It seems at the moment that as soon as I change the focus from one

When ever I check 'top' this thing is cranking away like crazy.
Especially when I first resume my notebook.

According to the Kicker Docs, if I right click, I should be able to
remove this icon.
I can't -- there's no menu option for it and now I can't get rid of it.
And...It doesn't work as advertised.
I would like it to, but I can't seem to find anything in syslog or
.xsession-errors to give me a clue

I used to have kaudio.
I upgraded to whatever went into testing (2.2.1?) and now I have no sound.
Technically, I have sound, but I have nothing KDE-ish to control it
with. No thing in the menu and nothing to select from the packages.
According the dselect, I already have kaudio installed -- but
