Hi, I'm the very impressed user of KDE2.0 - only not full time :-( My system is IBM Thinkpad 600E, RH7.0, KDE2.0 (installed form RH RPM's - all are installed except support-devel and sound-devel). Symptoms: Quicly LMB clicking in and outside an apps window (say konsole) will 'hang' the mouse input - I still have keyboard input active, and can use keyboard to switch from desktops and so forth. Sometimes mouse input returns after having switched desktop *many* times. Also alt-tab can help, but if only one app is running this will *always* hang KDE, i.e. drop keyboard input - no keys pressed have any effect. There are variations of how to achieve this 'dead lock' but the result is the same - first no mouse input poss. and then later maybe no keyboard input poss. This did not happen in KDE1 and does not happen with other window managers. I have played with using an alternative to KWIN, but would rather not at present. Also, no wm support properly kdesktop - it will have it's onw managed window - uggh! The safest thing to do is to ctrl-alt-del to exit KDE - but then I can/will loose data, not to speak of the session I was doing. Please help if anyone can, as this is stopping me from doing serious stuff. thanks, Mek -- Send posts to: kde-user@lists.netcentral.net Send all commands to: kde-user-request@lists.netcentral.net Put your command in the SUBJECT of the message: "subscribe", "unsubscribe", "set digest on", or "set digest off" All kde mailing lists are archived at http://lists.kde.org ********************************************************************** This list is from your pals at NetCentral
