However, most often such problems are caused by configuration not by data or applications, so I'd try renaming ~/.kde4/share/config before doing anything else. If that works, identify configurations that are important to you and not quick to regenerate, and start to copy them over. *BUT*, copy only one item at a time, testing thoroughly before adding something else. The configuration that has caused your problem should then become obvious and the rest can be restored if necessary. Anne - -- Need KDE help? Try http://userbase.kde.org or http://forum.kde.org Thank you all. I have not had a chance to work on this but expect to in the next day or so. I'll report back as soon as I do. Paul
