I downloaded the Mandrake 7.0 iso and installed it on several
machines. For the most part it works great, but I've found a few small
problems on all three of the machines I've installed on:
1) when I run
[msh@localhost msh]$ /usr/bin/E-ScreenSave.epplet
I get a desktop icon with several buttons on it, when click on the lock
button I get
xscreensaver-command: no screensaver is running on display :0.0
xscreensaver-command: no screensaver is running on display :0.0
xscreensaver-command: no screensaver is running on display :0.0
xscreensaver-command: no screensaver is running on display :0.0
xscreensaver-command: no screensaver is running on display :0.0
xscreensaver-command: no screensaver is running on display :0.0
shouldn't the screensaver come on? If so, what do I need to do to fix
things?
2) when I login in as root and choose the GNOME option, I see the usual
GNOME panel at the bottom of the screen. However, logging as a regular
user and chosing GNOME doesn't give a panel at the bottom of the
screen. Everything else seems to work fine. In case it helps here is a
list of processes running once in GNOME as a regular user:

3) When logged in as root and choosing KDE I am able to open the KDE
control center and the open the styles setup box (which is under
desktop), there are options for icon styles for Panel, File manager and
desktop icons and Other. I can change the File manager and desktop
icons and Other to Normal (the default is Large). However, when logged
in as a regular user (using KDE) I can't make the same changes. The
dialog buttons appear to change, but when I log back in, the settings
have reverted to Large. Any ideas on how to fix this?
