I have qt2-2.2.1 mandrake rpms as well as the stable Mandrake KDE 2.0 rpms installed. KDE, for the MOST part, is running OK, though I do get a number of repeatable crashes with certain apps (KGNUPlot, Control Center upon closing it, for instance). On my desktop are icons for my zip drive, hda1, and hdb6. I can open/browse both hda1 and hdb6 without problem. The zip drive has setup issues and this doesn't relate to the problem I am reporting. If I right-click on any one of these icons and then select the "properties" entry, there is momentary harddrive activity followed by nothing. It appears then that kfm is toasted, locked up, frozen. If I have a terminal open on the desktop, or kmail, etc, they are still fine, as is the panel (for the most part...more in a moment). If I move the open terminal (or window for whatever app I am running) over the desktop icons, they disappear and do not reappear. Right-clicking on the desktop fails to produce a desktop menu. If I go to panel and open the kmenu and select "logout", nothing happens. The only way I can get the desktop back is to do a Ctrl-Alt-Bkspc and re-login. This is repeatable. As I say, I can find no error messages related to this anywhere. That Dr. Konqui (or whatever it's name is) does NOT start up to produce debug information. I have reinstalled qt2.2.1 and kde rpms but this problem remains. My system is an Athlon 700, 128 MB RAM, kernel-2.2.17, updated 7.1 system (with a few required 7.2beta rpms as needed to get KDE 2.0 installed, no dependency problems - at least according to rpm during installation). praedor
