Hi Pascal, I compiled and ran 3.6.11 and your prediction has been correct no improvement (with respect to my problem).
I am entering this text from a Gnome session: Fortunately Scid works fine, as it used to, so the problem is apparently in the KDE distribution of Suse 10.2. I am (slowly, since not a Gnome fan) getting the feeling the Suse team did not do a great job here. Another favorite of mine, gnucash, lost its help features under KDE. Irritating, since I have met no other program yet that suffers the same problem. If anybody is aware of apparently fresh key binding mechanisms, please join. Anyway, Pascal, thanks for listening, and keep up the good work! Are you somehow connected to the chessx project as well? These guys have serious plans, so it seems... You may want to check out http://chessx.sourceforge.net/ if you are unaware. Regards, Joost.
