Hey, I resemble that comment! I don't have a 30" display though, I have two 21" on dual head...;-) Two 30" would be nice though...<G> > I used to do that.

These days I use the stock black on white mostly...the only thing I change is the window decoration to System++, which also requires I set the active/inactive title text, that would be one of the first things I fixed in the code...:-/ For some reason it's white on white by default. I just set them to a shade of blue for each. I like the window of System++ best, reminds me of the Mac. > As for what works, yes, konsole runs. I think I tried kate as well.

While I have used KMail for a number of years, I have to tell you that it gave me problems at Sun with the crappy imap support (I was using the older version on 3.1.1, I don't remember what version of KMail it was), and I just punted and use pine these days. In fact, I use it on the Mac also, just pop open a terminal and ssh to my server over wifi. Pine works great for that. > PS.
