Well! THAT certainly did not take long! 3.9 has been installed on my
computer for less than 24 hours. Must be that newly discovered
X-windows bug. :-)
3.9 seems to run great though. KDE 3.5.1 is definitely quicker, although
I have found a few minor repeatable bugs(Kmail).
Seriously, I do have a number of strange (ie never before seen by me,
at least) error messages in the kde error log. Some of the messages
relate to sockets(-1 errors), DCOP server(rejected internal attach attemps)
and KDE internals. The socket permissions in 3.9 are tighter than they
were in 3.8) but not as tight as I like. (I run the command
"find /tmp -user daf -exec chmod 700 {} \;" as soon as I start kde.
It doesn't seem to break anything.) I noticed also that files in /dev/ptyp*
are accessed but they always seem to be root:wheel crw-rw-rw- which
puzzles me so far.
