I had a look at bugzilla: this and similar bugs have been reported and hopefully someone is working on it... -- In the news: Display Works Inc. Interview: A company explains how and why they have used kDE on their office desktops for over a year. We evaluated a number of desktops and came to the conclusion that KDE was our best candidate. The real test came when we rolled it out and watched our untrained users. That was really cool.

Re: [newbie] Loosing Chinese users?
The English version of Red Flag sucked--we're even. ;-) Miark Even with whom FYI, Red Flag is a communist chinese distribution. The commies use simplified chinese, which I read work well in 9.2rc2. So you may have got an broken-English Red Flag from them, but they get a good simplified chinese Mandrake. If you read better the original post, you'd know that what's lacking is traditional chinese used in HK and in the other China, the free and democratic one (republic of china) in Taiwan. Maybe you belong to the group of people who believe that there is only one china instead of two and that maoist-communism = free-market-democracy. I sometimes wish I had the know-how to do my own distro. I may have to learn anyway, if I want to make sure I get what I need. The local taiwanese distro is not up to speed. I am not even sure it still exists (Linux?). Anguo -- Definition: SCOurce code: invisible, yet high value code that does not exist in any physical form.

I'm sure that that was after the bit about encouraging the use of open source in government and business. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet?
