I think I'm too lazy for that :) I think I'll stay with 2.2.4 as long as I can :) Try making it so that KDE runs /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon on login. That will make it so you don't have to run gnome-control-center each and every time you want the themes to work. I don't use KDE so I don't remember how to do that, but there is a way. :-) Of course there are some problems with the fonts but that's a different story :) What's wrong with them? Running gnome-control-center helped to turn theme and fonts on in gtk based apps but made other kde fonts smaller (i.e. in toolbar). But now it's fixed. I simply haven't noticed that these settings were made to ~/.gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 file but not to .gtkrc and .gtkrc-2.0. So I've copied the content of the first one to the later ones (changing gtk to gtk-2.0 where appropriate) and everything's alright now (including fonts). I simply hate reinstalling the system. There's so many things to think about when configuring the OS.

Re: [newbie] Kinda OT... port forwarding?
Windows can do it.. I had a broadband failure a while back.. and the only spare modem I had was on a windows laptop. I setup the backup dialup connection on the laptop, and set it to port forward the required ports to the internal machines and connected. It worked fine. so I know that windows 2000/XP can do it.

Not gonna, cuz I don't have a testing box (yet, workin' on it), but cool nonetheless. rant Now, about the wording of the announcement... 'put some spice back into your computing life'... That is doubleplusungood. I don't want 'spice'. I don't think 'spice' is what people are looking for in an OS. Need I remind people of the last 'product' with 'spice'? They were a blight on the cultural landscape, appropriately and quickly banished. Mandrake, I love you, you've saved me from the hideous world of MS Windows.

[newbie] mutt w/ mdk
I use mutt to connect to my local IMAP server. Everything seems ok accept when I open my inbox or change to a different IMAP folder. Mutt tries to make me compose a message? The funny thing is it does not have a To: header, if has a Newsgroups: header. Once you get to the composition screen there is also a Followup-To: header. I have never seen this before. If I exit out and try to compose normally everything is fine To: header and all. It just happens when I try to change directories. I am using Mdk 10 and Mutt 1.5.5. This is the same mutt config file that worked fine in FC2? jonin Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com

[newbie] Good, Intuitive developement platform?
Yo; Though I'm not a proficient or experience developer, I like to tinker with code every now and then and learn what I can. What are some of the best development environments can I run on my Mandrake 9.1 box that have something like the intuitiveness of KDevelop and something in the neighborhood, or at least the same state, as Visual Studio .net?
