I'm currently using kopete 0.11.3 with KDE 3.4 as an IM. After a while doin' .... something I guess, can't reproduce this at a whim; kopete hangs and funny things start happening. I got to mention that kopete does not have to be opened. It can be minimized into the dock.
* keyboard hangs, ie all together nonfunctional with cap and num light non responsive. * mouse can be moved as usual, but leaves me with only one option; moving windows. every button only moves the current window. No minimize maximize close no nothing so to speak. I can at any point use ssh and kill the kopete process witch will fix the problem. After having this problem at least once every 48~ hours, I've begyn tinkering a bit with the status I found out that ( I only got a BT mouse with scroll): KDE has this inbuild resource witch will ask to terminate if a program doesn't respond to the X (close) in the widget corner. I found a method to be able to use the mouse, push down the scrollwheel and scroll while down THEN the left mouse button suddenly get a correct response from X. I push the X and repeats this mouse gesture with KDE's terminate button when it appears. I guess its kopete that has the fault. BUT why does the mouse respond like that. Good for me, without the mouse I would have to hard reboot whenever this occurs. I use a PB17 5,7. Debian testing. The only button responsive is the powerbutton. -- --- Børge Kennel Arivene http://www.arivene.net ---
