Apparently they saved money from canceled hip operations, so they can afford the ISP contract for WiFi. PS. I hope your hospital visit is quick and painless. :-) -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Is that a good way for me to gain access to my Plasma desktop over the Internet from my tablet, or would some kind of VPN be better?

That's interesting. I hadn't heard of X2go before; is there an equivalent for Android clients? It could be quite usable on my 10.5" tablet. -- Regards, Peter.

I see this sometimes when: 1) I didn't fully logout/reboot after a major update 2) I connect to an X-session using "X2Go" I haven't had this happen recently though, not entirely sure what solved it as I have been playing a lot with settings and "emerge -e" on the single machine I access via "X2go". -- Joost
Re: [gentoo-user] Layout problem in latest KDE apps
I'm not an expert on KDE internals, but I would guess that it's either a problem with the theme or the rendering of the theme. The easier one to test is the former - perhaps emerge kde-plasma/breeze, select the breeze theme from KDE control panel and log out / back in again. If that doesn't work, I'm afraid you've hit the limit of my helpfulness, fwiw. -d On July 31, 2018 03:01:15 Peter Humphrey wrote: On Monday, 30 July 2018 17:11:16 BST Davyd McColl wrote: Those spaces look like where I have icons.

Those spaces look like where I have icons. Perhaps try changing theme? And change back? Perhaps it's just a theming issue.
