My ds debs were the forerunner to pre1vX, and there won't be any more releases of those.

Well, if it hits debian-x, it's findable by Google, and that's always useful. :) d -- Daniel Stone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.org - http://www.kde.org - http://www.freedesktop.org "Configurability is always the best choice when it's pretty simple to implement" -- Havoc Pennington, gnome-list pgppcEi6pni53.pgp Description: PGP signature
broken menus
I'm repeating a question that the good folks over at debian-user were not inspired to answer -- it is in fact a kde question, so perhaps more at home here. I had installed Debian Woody from cd on my workstation, intending to replace the longstanding RH there. On a veteran thinkpad, I couldn't get Woody to run. But Knoppix solved the problems. I then decided to use knoppix on the workstation too. Rather rashly, I quickly moved to mount the old RH /home partition to the new Knoppix install. This looked workable, with some problems in kde - I assume caused by the accumulation of old kde configurations. In despair, I upgraded the installation, and completely destroyed kde. I eventually used the radical method of purging every kde and qt related file from the system by hand in order to lose the malign influence of the old Woody and RedHat installs, as suggested by Michael Schleif, here: http://www.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=gxXP.6fz.7%40gated-at.bofh.it Mostly, it worked (nearly). I have a running system, but I am left with a load of screwed up menus through many applications. Mostly these show up as a menu heading of "No text!" or a menu containing all the items in one section twice, usually with the other sections missing. All the "No text!" ones also suffer from the duplicate items poblem. Any suggestions how to re-configure the menus? It seems to me to be kde-wide, rather than application-related. Mozilla, qcad, kate are unaffected, whereas kedit, kmail, konqueror are (some examples). TIA -- richard
folder identities in KMail 1.5.3 (KDE 3.1.3)
hi there, it seems that in the newest version of KMail, 1.5.3, the selected 'folder identity' (folder preferences) in fact isn't the one used in new mails or reply mails in that folder ... i hope it'll be fixed soon 'cause it's a little bit annoying ... (or have i made something wrong? i don't think so ... ;)) bb

Make sure you have /etc/fonts/fonts.conf and local.conf setup to find your fonts then run 'fc-cache -f -v' and make sure it sees your fonts. After that restart kde and see if your fonts work better. You may need to go into kcontrol->appearances->fonts and select different ones if it is defaulting to bad fonts. Chris
font problems on upgrade from woody to sid
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I upgraded from woody to sid. I was using kde 3.1.2 on woody, and at the time of upgrading, sid too had 3.1.2. The fonts have been screwed since then. They're larger and don't look like they used to earlier.. helvetica's bigger and everything looks ugly. I have xfs and xfstt running. I guess it could be a Qt problem somewhere. I can't see major portion of some sites, for eg. hotmail.com in konqueror, but Mozilla's display is just fine. I tried a couple of user accts, and all showed the same fonts. I deleted all the .qt, .kde, .fonts-cache, etc files and the fonts were okay. I dont' want to delete the .kde-stuff for my user acct... which files gen. affect these font settings?
