Yes, some kind of "My Control Center". >> Another such a configuration could be choosing the size of the >> desktop (screen resolution). > At one time there's only one user.

I'm not quite sure if it is possible, but by restarting X Window system and by using different configuration file it should work..? >> There are also other things which should be in this user-level >> control panel, like: change password, > userdrake Won't work: "In order to run "userdrake" with root's privileges, additional information is required.

On the desktop ? noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo No, not desktop. I mean something like Mandrake Control Center but for a user. Mandrake is very nice distribution as long as you have the root privileges. But if you try to use Mandrake as a normal user, it's just horrible. How to change your language, photo, password? They are very hard to find from menu (because most of the configuration tools need root privileges) if they can be found at all (<Ctrl> + <Alt> + +/-). Even I don't try to find some configuration tool from the menu, because it's much faster to run it directly from a terminal. My Control Panel would fix this together with Mandrake Control Center if they are both well made. Regards, Matias
