You could try to move ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole/ ~/.kde/share/config/konsolerc ~/.kde/share/config/konsolepartrc ~/.kde/share/config/konsole.eventsrc out of the way and check if this improves the situation. (Make sure that you can move the original files back if their removal makes things worse.) -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
