[sorry for the late response] If the only symptom was the huge log file then it could be argued that: had debug messages been disabled, there wouldn't have been a problem... :D I'm assuming that this [disabling debug messages] would be a change in the default kdebugdialog settings, and as such would be reversible by the admin/user. So, it would still be possible to discover the problem you ran into although there may be a bit of a delay until kdebugdialog is discovered and adjusted. - Bruce -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
