Right, but the kppp problem was a small one compared to the other things
that went wrong when I moved to kernel 2.2.13. If kfm and kpanel don't
start, the thing's pretty useless. So I went back to 2.2.12. Something's
odd with my machine - this and the kfm crashing on right click problem
are making life hard at the moment. No one, including myself, has any
answers and it doesn't do it on my machine at work.
