Hello. I found another issue with KDE in OBSD. It was there in 3.6, and persisted in 3.7 when I upgraded.
My battery monitor would show in the lower right hand corner in the kpanel (kicker) as root -- but not as another user. When I went to kcontrol and clicked on Power Control:Laptop Battery, the application would crash. No errors. I looked at /dev/apm* and the perms were set to 600 on my apm and apmctl (and their symbolic links). I changed them to 666, and now everything works swimmingly. Just wanted to post incase anyone else pulls their hair out over this. It is frustrating to use a laptop and not know how much time you have left before it bombs-out! :) Ciao, Chris
