When I run into something like this with KDE, I have found that the easiest way to correct it is to delete all KDE-based files/directories in my home directory. First, I save my kmail address book and my bookmarks.xml file by moving/copying them to my home directory. Then I completely delete .mcop (dir), .DCOP* (files), and .kde (dir), and restart into KDE. It is easiest/cleanest to do this from somewhere else: failsafe terminal, blackbox, gnome, whatever...just not from within KDE. You then logout of your current session and relogin to KDE. Normally, all is well at this point. I then move my kmail addressbook and bookmarks.xml back to their normal location, replacing the default files installed by KDE upon first startup. I have found it virtually impossible to find THE file or link that is screwing up KDE in circumstances such as yours. praedor -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+X5x7wDUPEkSvRHERAg7TAJ0aQ4jFUYk9+7MKjsDAAiHczEd3dACgw7w3 +zBxRkiGmEbPDB/KGKDNFmU= =6Ssd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
