On my F8 system, Kaddressbook 3.5.6 on KDE-3.5.8-7.fc8 Fedora, clicking 'File' --> 'New' --> 'Distribution List' does *absolutely* nothing. The same occurs if I click on the toolbar icon for 'New Distribution List' and it doesn't matter if I have the distribution list editor showing or not. I can create a new distribution list from the distribution list editor itself *after* I set Kaddressbook to show it all the time. Once the distribution list is created I can see it and select it and edit it etc. but the above behaviour is a little less than intuitive. I don't believe that it should be necessary to have the distribution editor showing all the time before being able to create a new distribution list. It *should* come up when either the tool bar icon or the file --> new --> distribution list is clicked. Once one is aware of this feature of Kaddressbook all works well. Thanks again for your information. -- Kind regards, Graeme Nichols. ...
