Themes
I went to themes.freshmeat.net and downloaded a couple of themes for KDE. Untarring the downloaded files, I get a directory named for the theme with two subdirectories - pixmap and themes. In the themes directory, is a file called name.themerc. Going under Control Center/Look and Feel/Theme Manager, it does not recognize the theme. Trying to add the theme, the dialog box says that it is filtering on "Theme files" but does not recognize the .themerc file or any other file in the package. The help file doesn't. A google search gives me oodles of hits on themes; any info on actually installing the themes is swamped. Info or pointers to info greatly appreciated. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Anyone else seeing this? You didn't compile PAM support in. Make sure you have libpam0g-dev installed and reconfigure kdebase. Make sure that it found PAM support, make, make install and be happy. :-) -- Ciao... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

KDE3 lock screen, 'incorrect password' (my ****)
Ok, so in the past, the kde screen lock used to take at least two attempts to log in (even though I can be 99% sure I typed it correct the first time), but now it NEVER lets me log back in, even if I type my password with one finger, very slowly, with the caps lock off, etc.. Have to switch to a terminal and kill it!
