I tried this exactly as you said, and nothing happened.

Yes, very well, I believe. For example, I am using kmail to compose this
message. I have used Kmail for 3 weeks with complete success. KDE has not
crashed once.

I am using SuSE 7.0. How would I find out which version of KDE I am using? I
installed the binary version.

I don't know if this is a known bug. How would I find that out? 
What did you mean by "(It may also be QT, kdesupport, kdelibs or kdebase!)?"

When I contacted SuSE about his problem, they suggested I go to their site at
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/KDE2/ and download the latest version of KDE.
However, when I went to this site, I found a confusing array of folders. 

Do you suggest I download the source and compile it myself? I am a newbie, and
have never compiled source before, but I could try all the same. 

Also, I should mention that I am using a Umax 600 computer. This uses the
Motorola chip, which is not the most common chip. 

Thanks in advance
