But there should be a menu item somewhere on your main KDE menu (On Gnome it's called "Assistive Technology Preferences") that you use to turn this off and on. Alternatively, you could just remove the KDE Assistive Technology rpm (assuming that it doesn't have any necessary dependencies) and that should do it. Alternatively to that, you could remove your kde setting directory (~/.kde or something similar to that, I suppose) and then set up your desktop again from scratch, which shouldn't take too many minutes if you make a screenshot first so you can get your panel icons in order and so on. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
