'feel' seems even a little quicker, ps/2 mouse is smoother, but

I d'l all the rpm's to a dir, then tried 'rpm -Uvh --test *'. The
kdegames rpm came up missin 'libkdegames.so.1' so i moved 'games' out
of the dir and tried --test again. This time i got no report, so I did
-Uvh on the rest of the rpm's with no problems.
As soon as I installed your rpms I started getting all kinds of
errors trying to close or open any apps, menus were trashed including
the panel and it's icons (tiny). So I re-booted ;) That solved the
'errors'. I fixed menus and icons by logging into root's desktop and
runnin Menudrake | reload. I also did that (Menudrake) after logging
into my user desktop and then all was well again, including apps/icons
I've added since install.
BTW, every game I try still works fine, even tho I didn't install
that rpm. I installed your 'libical' rpm even tho that rpm wasn't
already on the system. Same of course for kdevelop, but it crashes
with a sig11 as soon as i click on it in the menu, as does
kdevelop-setup.

Hardware is an oc'd p3-450 on a soyo 6ba+III (BX chipset), 256mb
pc100 @ 135mhz cas2, Voodoo3-2k pci, ISA modem and AWE64, Mandrake 7.2
is on ide0 slave, ata/33 WD 8.4g Fresh 7.2 install had -0- problems
getting back to 'feel'... I have a 'tiny' panel with several app
icons between the 'K' and the window buttons. Now since installing
your rpm's Chris, as I move the mouse pointer over my little 'tiny'
panel icons, _BIG_ icons pop out! It's sort'a cool, but I believe it's
gonna take some gettin use to ;) It _is_ supposed to be like that now,
right? ;)
Only minor problem I've seen so far is that I had to reduce the
window title font to 12pt (Comic Sans Win TTF) to get it back up onto
the bar, and it's still slap down on the bottom (ie, not centered as it
use to be)
That's all for now, hope this is of some help.
