I'm much more likely to go the other way ... (smile) > Honestly the background is rarely ever seen on my screen > I like maximized windows. Same here, but I keep a small slice visible on some desktops -- I've had 10 for many years -- & it's all there on the 2 spares. > Overall I think KDE3 was much faster in performance Didn't I mention that too ... (grimace) ? I also didn't mention that Kmahjongg 4.2.1 doesn't allow you to edit the layout & its "traditional" tiles are ugly. Nor is Okular a match for Kpdf 3.5.10 . I tried (re)moving .kderc & .kde4 , but it doesn't alter the background: does anyone else have any suggestions how to restore the KDE 3 version ? I'm quite willing to try new things, but KDE 4.2.1 is definitely a beta. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
