Run update-menus -v as root
I've done it, but didn work. I changed the security level, and its' ok 
now with the menus (considering it's 9.2).

and then apply all the security and bug fix updates to fix permanently. 
Are there programs like those available? Correcting programs?

What is slow BTW, K3b or the system?
The system is slow. What's BTW?

 If it is taking too long to load programs, it could be that the machine is 
having trouble resolving to its own name.  What does your /etc/hosts file 
look like?
I'm not able to analyse them. I use KDE desktop, and it's way too slow 
on loading at startup. Programs are taking longer too to load. I checked 
the CPU usage, and it seems normal... Gotta be something intrinsic from 
the MDK/KDE?!?!

Well, I feel too much like a newbie sometimes...

Thanks

[newbie] Firewall

[Cenora]

How do I configure a powerful firewall in 9.2?
I never know what to block. I use mozilla, gtk-gnutella, mozilla-mail 
and Licq.

Thanks

Thanks

[newbie] video problem under several programs

[Cenora]

Hello,

	I using MDK9.2 now, but this problem comes from 9.1. The thing is: when 
I am running Konqueror and try to order the files by date, or when I am 
running mozilla (no matter if 1.3, 1.4 or 1.5) and click on some 
javascript links, on sites like www.whiplash.net or my webmail site 
(lucky I am I use pop), there appears on my screen a grey block, 
occupying half screen, full of little rectangles. Then it remains 
impossible to move the mouse or anything for some seconds, and finally 
it comes back to normal, only the screen remaining grey, but as I move 
any window it gets ok.

What can it be?

Thiago
