Gee, thanks for the way to correct what has not been a problem until MDKKDM
created it.
NOT
However, perhaps, since I am just a troll, and you are a well respected
developer, it would care more weight if you were to write to the fine folks
who develope Crossover and tell them. but since YOU suggest telling the fine
folks that sold me the software, and since I bought it as part of a
MandrakeSoft produced set of PowerPack disks, I figured the best way to tell
the folks I might buy the next PowerPack from befor they take someone elses
advice and sell me something I cna not use.... gee I was sure this was the
place to tell "whoever sells you this software, and ask them to have it run
via kdesu or something like that. In fact, that was what I was doing.
