Take a look at the output of the program xdpyinfo, it'll tell you the number 
of dots per inch.

Just Divide the number of pixels by the amount given by xdpyinfo (86 in my 
case)

You could of course request a new feature, but this is not the list to ask for 
that.


Kind regards,

Peter Palm

You can change the number of entries (and also set it to zero) in
"K-Menu > Control Center > Desktop > Panels > Menus" at "Quickstart Menu
Items".

Re: KMail auto-killing the first receipt-account in the list??????

2006-02-21 Thread johnny geling thuis

Probably the file

usr/share/debian-edu/networked-kde3/share/config/kmailrc is responsable for this. 
I had a similar behavior and saw that this config file is also read by kmail. 

So I simply deleted this because I don't know if the package 
debian-edu-config can be deleted in min configuration. The kmailrc file 
is in this package.

I am using the following combo: KDE 3.5, Kontact 1.2 and Kmail 1.9.1 on a
Sid system with my own kernel.
The problem described below was also present on my previous KDE 3.4.3 +
whatever version of kmail was current then.

What happen is: Every time I start up kmail or kontact, the first account,
in the list of receiving accounts, has been deleted from Kmail. I add it
again. It is now the last account in the list. Upon closing/starting
kmail/kontact, the "new" number one of the list (the previous no 2) as been
removed.

As the problem has persisted through an upgrade, I am am quite sure one of
the configuration files has been screwed up. But which one and where?

1) Has anybody out there experienced this and found a cure?
2) Can somebody please direct me to some detailed documentation on the kmail
filestructure and fileformats, as I haven't been able to find any?

Thanks in advance

Jan
