well, that was my question ... (smile) > 'xterm -e mutt' or 'konsole -e mutt' should work fine for you. xterm is ok; konsole is the one which creates the flashing status line. i have changed the KDE menu entry to use 'xterm -e /usr/bin/mutt' with the 'start in terminal' box unchecked, which is ok (i'm using it now). > If you have a konsole in X when you logout & ask kde to save the session, > next time you start the wm it should automatically be started for you. yes, i have discovered that KDE 3.x now starts applications, eg Galeon & GVim, which were left running at the end of the previous session: Galeon knows to start where it left off (so configured), GVim starts empty. so again, anyone know why Konsole causes Mutt's status line to flash when it is started from the KDE menu? anyone care to test reproducing it? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto
