I was working on a simple "slideshow" of the pictures that I took of my father and where he lives, were I used to live, for my lady friends mother. The Ctrl-Alt-F key combo is supposed to give fullscreen. Nothing. The S key is supposed to start/stop the slideshow. Nothing. I used to be able to "highlight and copy" a line of text or a url from a GUI, like Netscape, and with 'Shift-Insert' paste it into a Xterm window. Now I get a ~5 and a warning beep.

Re: [newbie] KDE2 PROBLEM
Your the second person that reported this. Can you please open a bug about it at: http://bugs.kde.org ? I suspect a coding issue. I will update RPM's again on Tuesday most likely.

Tina is related to the Oracle database server on your system. Dan On Fri, 19 Jan 2001, you wrote: I checked and all of my window managers are still there, so my mileage did vary.
