Sometimes only 1 desktop and no window border in KDE
I have been using Lenny for several weeks yet (with KDE 3.5). For first two week all was Ok but then such a bug appeared: 1) In the KDE panel only one desktop available (but I have 4 desktops). 2) All windows I open have no border! This bug appeared after I (or another user of my computer) log on first time (after OS boot). If I log out and log on once again KDE begins to work normally. My software (Debian Lenny uptodate) kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-686 video drivers: legacy Nvidia commercial driver installed from NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.05-pkg1.run x11: xserver-xorg 1:7.3+14 kde: kde-core 5:48 logon manager: kdm 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-2+b1 panel: kicker 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-2+b I only use kdm (don't login at console). P.S. There are 3 real users of my system and often we use switch user feature. Perhaps this influence on this situation. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
