Well, there is obviously something wrong with your user profile / home directory; what you can do is to create a new user, login as that user - and of course make sure everything works - and then once that's happening well enough, just copy over the stuff from your old home directory to the new home directory; another way of dealing with it - as I just did on my installation of MDK 10, was to rename my original home directory and change the perms on the entire structure to reflect my username and group, and let MDK create a whole new home directory - change the perms on the old one, copied over what I needed (book marks, xchat settings, yadda yadda yadda) and had a nice clean brandy new home directory and I can pick and choose what garbage to take from the old one and retain - the rest gets blown away!

The birds are singing, the flowers are budding, and it is time for Miss Manners to tell young lovers to stop necking in public. It's not that Miss Manners is immune to romance. Miss Manners has been known to squeeze a gentleman's arm while being helped over a curb, and, in her wild youth, even to press a dainty slipper against a foot or two under the dinner table. Miss Manners also believes that the sight of people strolling hand in hand or arm in arm or arm in hand dresses up a city considerably more than the more familiar sight of people shaking umbrellas at one another.

Some new versions of Mozilla and Firefox need to be run as root first before they will run as user. Try calling them from a root terminal, then close, then try again as user, and let us know if it works or not.

FORTUNE'S GUIDE TO DEALING WITH REAL-LIFE SCIENCE FICTION: #6 What to do... if a starship, equipped with an FTL hyperdrive lands in your backyard? First of all, do not run after your camera. You will not have any film, and, given the state of computer animation, noone will believe you anyway. Be polite. Remember, if they have an FTL hyperdrive, they can probably vaporize you, should they find you to be rude. Direct them to the White House lawn, which is where they probably wanted to land, anyway. A good road map should help. if you wake up in the middle of the night, and discover that your closet contains an alternate dimension? Don't walk in. You almost certainly will not be able to get back, and alternate dimensions are almost never any fun. Remain calm and go back to bed. Close the door first, so that the cat does not wander off. Check your closet in the morning. If it still contains an alternate dimension, nail it shut. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
