> Did you change ownership for the directories/files in the new target area?
I did not knowingly change any permissions at all. What I did was exactly this: 1. Created a brand new user account. 2. Logged that brand new user into the SAME version of KDE that I always log into. 3. Desktop effects work perfectly. So, I continued my experimentation by trying the following: 4. Desktop effects in my main user account were not working, so I logged out of KDE and moved ~/.kde to a different name. 5. Logged back in, and Desktop effects still did not work. In the case where Desktop Effects worked, ~/.kde was created fresh when the user logged in for the first time. The closest (if not perfect) way to duplicate that circumstance with my normal user account was to force KDE to create a new ~/.kde directory, so I moved the old one out of the way. That was all that I did. I did not change any permissions. That is why I was wondering if some settings that affect Desktop Effects are located somewhere else other than "~/.kde"? Steven P.
