Thanks/Danke!

I did not think of this as a splash...
I have another question though: I had to deactivate the kde wallet system 
because I would have to grant access to the wallet about ten times every time 
I would fetch my mail: although kmail was set up to store the passwords, it 
would not, or anyway it would still want to access the wallet.

Oh, and when you plug in a cf card, it is auto-mounted, but you can't "safely 
remove" it because you are not root... and you have to su to umount it and 
format it... I never liked subfs but I had hoped it had got better - will 
have to deactivate that as well.

Is the system so stupid, or am I?
