Starting kde gives me a desktop with _ instead of text for the icons. Hello, yesterday we suffered from the same problem after installing gnome2.2 on a previously KDE 3.1 (woody) system. Funnily we have two system which have installed both gnome and kde without having problems. Is there any evidence to which environmental properties the problem may be related? Sepecial font settings or what? The disabling of the .qt dirs has helped for the users, but what about kdm? Any hint appreciated. -- Dipl. Inform.

Gnome2.2 backport for Debian Woody
Hi, After installing gnome 2.2 (http://mirrors.evilgeniuses.org.uk/debian/backports/woody gnome2.2/) Kde 3 apps doesnt look nice at all, they start but windows are very big (extreme!) and no fonts are showing (no text beside icons etc). Starting kde gives me a desktop with _ instead of text for the icons. I'm using sarge, gnome is my standard world but it would be nice to use some kde apps like Kile. I have tried to compile my own kde apps but it is the same. The kde packages are from http://download.kde.org/stable/latest/Debian I have tried Karolinas, debian official, same problem. -- «=-=» /* Henrik */ GNU - Free Software (free as in freedom, not as in free beer) «=-=»
