Hi everybody,
Finally it seems to work... But It is still too ugly, it was better the old
kde (if you don't have a fast machine).
One problem I have with that new version (downloaded yesterday from
ftp.kde.org for RedHat linux 7.0) is with the kppp.
When called, it seems to set in background strange ASCII characters.
I have tried to call it from console, but you may see the same results with
the Ctrl+Alt+F1 key.
Once the line is taken, an the modem is connected, the normal characters
become squares and lines, and there is no way to turn them back.
It seems the only way to have the old character is to logout.
In some few situation it worked good, and it was always when I called a shell
script to retrieve mail. I cannot see any correspondence between these two
files.
I have posted here, as these packages are builded by the RedHat team (good
work anyway, they work better than those in Mandrake linux 7.2... thank you)
It may be only noise, but it may also hide some hard security problems.
Some one should check if it is only a problem of mine, or if it is a normal
behaviour.
I had not these problems with the last version of kde2 (the previous kde2
release about which we talked some days ago).
Another thing to say, that is a matter of the kde team, of course, but it can
be useful for RedHat to include in the next RHL release: kde2 doesn't support
well some video cards: My SiS 620 (avoid these if you have to buy a new
computer...) works only with the qt-motif and qt-motif-extended theme, other
themes are affected by a worst refresh (click left button on mouse and move
somewhere on the screen doesn't draw the classic rectangle, but a black
corner from the right side of the screen).
