Whatever caused this was captured in the configuration files in original .kde directory. Assuming that you renamed old .kde directory to .kde_old, running the following command may prove useful to identify the difference between old and new configuration files. diff -r .kde .kde_old | less Raghu

Dr. Nagarjuna on Groklaw - Proprietizing Standards
by jtd 23 Jul '07

23 Jul '07

A red letter day i suppose. Groklaw quotes Dr.Nags questions and responses to the usual red herring replies from M$' V. Kapur. This article is the result of acts of omission and commission by M$ in Portugal in getting ECMA approval for MS ooxml as a "standard". Hope similiar things dont happen here. http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20070720073215943 -- Rgds JTD

GNOME Developers calling for Online Desktop
by Anivar Aravind 22 Jul '07

GNOME Developers calling for the next desktop revolution Future GNOME releases might have seamless integration with online services and store their configuration on the web - Novell and parts of the community seem to agree with Red Hats proposal.... Another feature of the Online Desktop: Most of the user preferences will be stored online, which opens up a few interesting possibilities, as Pennington points out: Thanks to this, it would be possible to start directly from a Live-CD and still get ones own - fully configured - desktop after logging into the online service. - http://derstandard.at/?url=/?id=2964567 -- Anivar Aravind moving Republic Peringavu.P.O Thrissur-18 Kerala http://anivar.movingrepublic.org/about
