I uninstalled gimp and linuxconf and reinstalled using rpmdrake, and yes, I observed the gpg signature issue, but at no time during the install was anything off screen (1024x768). This is using KDE. I also removed my ~/.gimp* directory and went back through the initially user setup of gimp, and did not find any windows off screen there either. Unless I'm missing something, linuxconf still looks to be a console app than runs in a terminal, unless you're talking about gnome-linuxconf? Again, that app was fully on-screen here at 1024x768. At any rate, I don't believe any of this is PPC specific. -- Stew Benedict -- MandrakeSoft PPC FAQ: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ppcFAQ.php3 IRC: irc.freenode.net #cooker-ppc Archives: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mandrake-cooker-ppc&r=1&w=2

I carefully went through the entire app list and tried to add many packages. They then all failed to install for "no signature", including netatalk.
