It works great except one feature was |not available |and never being satisfied I decided to experiment a bit. | Could you please tell me how you got it to run under LM8.1? I have not been able to get the transparency dialogs to appear in the KDE control panel. There was some reference to utilizing a python script to fix things, but this was really obscure... |I launched the kde program kcmshell from a terminal just to |see if I could |find out anything. I suppose this is a sensitive program as |now a lot of |things in kde are all messed up. File associations are lost (I |cant just open |anything, I have to select the program to open it with), |directories won't |open, konqueror won't launch, and the kde control panel is |completely empty. |Not so good :) | Delete the .kde hidden directory in your home directory. Also remove the .drawfw from your home directory. When you log in KDE will set things up again as if you just finished the initial installation... No need to re-install the RPM's again. | |Is there any way to tell kde to just revert to all its |defaults? I'm running |Mandrake 8.1 with KDE 2.2.1. | See above. -JMS
