Ah, yes, I'm using an older version (180.44-2) of the nvidia driver and kernel 2.6.29. When I last tried, a few months ago, more recent combinations of driver and kernel resulted in "drop outs", very short flickering to a black screen. I'll have to try the current kernel with current driver.

Just FWIW (and somewhat OT), Konqueror has handled the bank site
http://www.smile.co.uk/ very well since 3.3 (Sarge), though for some
reason with Konqueror 3.5.9 (Lenny) I have to disable TLS in order to
actually login (otherwise I get "unable to connect" when I click
"login") - this is weird because Firefox handles it fine without
disabling TLS, which I guess means it's Konqi's fault, not the bank's.
[I think this particular bank site is laudably minimalistic ...]
Mind you, Konqueror 3.3 crashes on Slashdot unless I disable Javascript :)

Re: Taskmanager widget crashes X
Hi Michael, I'm also using closed-source custom-compiled (or linked) nVidia drivers on my 2.6.30 kernel (also custom-compiled) with almost solely unstable (a couple of experimental packages). I've seen X being far more stable than previously - say in the past two or three months, I've had very few crashes, perhaps two. Prior to that I was seeing a lot more, not sure if that was X, KDE 4.2 or a combination. Given you're using a panel on the top of the screen, which is likely not where most people run it, would you be able to try it at the bottom edge of the screen for a while and see if the problem continues? I'm using NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.36-pkg1.run - I'm guessing you're on that version too? Jedd. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Taskmanager widget crashes X
Repeatedly in the past 10 days (with current Debian/unstable KDE packages each day), KDE has crashed X on me. The proximate cause has always been that I clicked on a tab in the taskbar contained in a panel at the top edge of the screen. Specifically, this happened when I clicked right at the edge of the screen. I'm using (unfortunately, but I don't see an alternative) the closed source nvidia driver. The backtrace info from the log is appended below, but I it doesn't seem to be very helpful. I appreciate your ideas and suggestions what might be going wrong and what to do about it.

Sometimes the connection was lost during synchronization and in subsequent attempts the emails were "deleted" instead of being marked as read (the connection lost can be due to my poor upload speed). Since switching to manual synchronization this doesn't occur anymore, or at least I'm not able to realize it. BTW I use disconnected IMAP. I suggest to not download "All Mail" folder, all email are downloaded twice if you do that. Also folders with lots of email can be really painful to synchronize I've opted for splitting by years, ie debian,debian-2008,debian-2007, etc. > > I also have another mail account which I access through secure IMAP, setup > according to these > instructions: http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Secure_E-mail > Usually it works when setup like that.
