Damn --- I got to stop thinking if a little bit is good, a lot more has to be better!
I was looking for a Linux alternative to my Windows Contact Management software (Maximizer) that my business and I live by. Evolution looked pretty good and a possible match to my needs. I installed the complete Desktop using their Red Carpet scripted installation feature. I should have taken just Evolution (for now), but got really greedy, thinking that the whole package would give me more of what I have in Maximizer. Well....I suppose this would have been OK if GNOME was my default Windows Manager....it ain't! Personally... I just don't like GNOME. That's just me...no offense implied. Anyway... Installation seemed to go very well. I have NEVER seen any on-line installation work as smoothly and as well thought out as Ximian's. Unfortunately, I cannot find any solution from them on how to get the thing to work under KDE. At this point in time, everything looks just as it did on KDE before I installed, with one rather interesting difference... All of my icons on my Quick-Start Task Bar are now the same -- the KDE gear icon. when I click on any of them, I get this error message: "Unable to run the command specified. The file or directory 'file:/usr/share/applnk-mdk/Applications/Editors/kwrite.desktop' does not exist." Please note that the path is specific to the application icon I clicked on, so it varies with the application I am trying to access. It looks like this newbie is temporarily fooked and it doesn't even feel good! -Ouch!- Could someone who installed Ximian Desktop in MDK 8.3, using KDE as their Windows Manager, please point me to the solution? (Preferably before I scream for jumping in without understanding the choices I made...) I have been running around Ximian's site for answers (and will continue to do so!), but thus far all I have found is that they acknowledge that mods have to be done! ARGH! "Dad, when will I grow up and be a competent Linux user like you?" "Someday, son...someday." I am going badk to do more searching.... g-r-r-r-r.... TIA, T
