I tried this. Logging in a tt#: console shows the $HOME/.profile was saved and honored. The kde4 session seems to honor it. Konsole comes up and does NOT honor this. Got it to work as /bin/bash -l which the documentation says reads ~/.profile. Question is what path is being used for menu items? Clicking a link on say, an email or a bookmark brings up the OLD konqueror--at least this one works without a hitch. The new one, well .... Opera and Dillo are available. Any, I got wallpaper working (not from the themes which are not honored, it seems). Icon sizes will only change as of next login--there is no refresh desktop and it is not necessarily refreshed when editing properties. So far, pretty nice. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
