Alex,
I've just installed 708 on my Mandrake 7.1 box. I thought XKill wasn't
working, but then I noticed that kdesu was running in the taskbar area
(shame they've killed off tasbar). Shortly after that, the cursor changed
to the killer - so it does work if you'e patient.
You need to do a couple of things:
`chmod u+s /opt/kde2/bin/konsole_grantpty' and
`chmod u+s /opt/kde2/bin/kppp'
Before installation, I would (from a console) ...
mv ~/Desktop ~/Desktop1
mv ~/.kde ~/.kde1
cp -R ~/Desktop1 ~/Desktop2
co -R ~/.kde1 ~/.kde2
ln -s ~/Desktop1 ~/Desktop
ln -s ~/.kde1 ~/.kde
so your Desktop and .kde are now symbolic links, allowing you to have
separate ones for running kde1 or kde2. If something screws up, you have
a fallback too. I include again the previously-posted scripts I use.
Hope this helps ...
