Your experience demonstrates that unfortunately KDE is not ready for the wider public. I have seen my own daughter click on the little XKill icon on the screen, and with the words "What does this do" she killed the KDE toolbar. It then only requires a log off with 'save session' and the computer is unusable to the uninitiated. But we will get there! In the one year I have been using Linux it has already made great leaps foward. And then nothing will stop us...(Manic laughter....) Seriously. KDE is very nice and is what I use on my desktop, but it can be 'fragile', requiring deletion of various hidden files to recover from a screw up. There are more 'robust' Window Managers. Gnome is more robust, although it is not to my taste. Fluxbox is my current fave 'robust' manager for my (underpowered) laptop. It is so simple there is virtually no way you can break it. (None I can find anyway), but it is so different from Windows people are repelled. There are lots of nice WMs on your CDs and you can have fun trying them all. (For example Enlightenment has some if the most nightmarishly ghastly themes you can imagine :) (Do read the documentation on each or you might never work out how to use them) Thats what I like about Linux. Choice :-) derek
