That is one file I can do without (my address book on the > other hand...). One more bug zapped! =8^) Every KDE upgrade, it seems something or other quits, here. I run seriously customized, so resetting everything to the default and recustomizing isn't a palatable option. I've become rather adept at finding the issue rather fast, but I always make a backup of the dir before the upgrade, just in case something goes horribly wrong and it destroys the entire config rather than just refusing to work in one or two areas. With KDE, the problem file is usually in one of two subdirs under ~/.kde/share, either apps or config. Knowing that and the application with the problem, it's a pretty quick job to check one, and if there's nothing for the app there, check the other. Under config, it's individual files, under apps, its subdirs with a collection of files. Some have their config split so part exists in either location. In any case, it's usually a five-minute job to find the culprit, rename it, restart that particular component of KDE, and verify. Some things, like my kicker/panel config, are so complex I'll actually dive into the file and troubleshoot down to the individual section and line, rather than recustomize the entire app from scratch. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
