However, on machines where that's a problem (the libssl mismatch) I can't use ssh at all, so uninstalling the package was the cleanest way to get rid of that issue anyways. D.A.Bishop

Default paper size?
Has any progress been made towards allowing the user to change the default paper size? I get tired of changing it from A4 to US letter every time I want to print something. Thanks, John

That whole compiled with different ssl thingy. My solution has been to simply remove ssh from the afflicted machines, as kdm trys to start ssh-agent, and as there is no mechanism to prompt you for anything (i..e., when something screws up) it simply dumps you back to the beginning. This might or might not have anything to do with your error, but it's happened to me on two different machines. Oh, I guess you could figure out where it's calling ssh-agent and comment that out, but it was too much trouble for me. I don't use ssh all that often (bad david, no biscuit!) HTH, D.A.Bishop

Fixed it with an executeable ~/.xsession calling kde2. There is another problem that xdm/kdm does not process profile and logout files (bash and etc). Fixed it by calling it from .xsession as well. Seems to be a general xdm problem not kde specific. Bye, Steffen

I installed it because I just started a programming course and it seemed to be the best IDE for Linux that I saw. I know several people on this list use it because of all the posts about it. If any of them would be interested in packaging the rest of the Doc's.

Re: konqueror and CSS
Yup, It won't even load it here - locks up the poor old konq in a hurry. I attempted a load of nutscrap, and it locked it up too! Opera however *did* render very nice results of the page. Funny, the mainboards on the front page all have model numbers that are also real Amateur radio call signs :) Hu.
