On a lark I installed the Ximian Gnome desktop yesterday, on top of a prexisting KDE install (RH7.0, mutt 1.2.5i). Now everything is FUBAR. Most of the problems are OT, but what would cause mutt to suddenly go haywire in this fashion: in the index, the <ENTER> key stopped working (it wouldn't bring up the pager, or do anything except uncollapse threads); the help screens (in all modes) suddenly came up completely empty (just ~ marks); and hitting 'e' brought up a "problem opening /tmp/blah" error. I looked in /tmp & found several large (88M) files of the form "<random alphanumerics>.gz", but they weren't real gzips. I rm'd these files, and now mutt seems to work correctly again (except for of course being back to an 80 X 24 console). I'm a beginner at Unix/mutt/etc., but up to this point I've run into very few problems that weren't at least vaguely intuitable. Can you offer any clues? Thanks, Peter Horst
