However, most often such +problems are caused by configuration not by data or applications, so +I'd try renaming ~/.kde4/share/config before doing anything else. If +that works, identify configurations that are important to you and not +quick to regenerate, and start to copy them over. *BUT*, copy only +one item at a time, testing thoroughly before adding something else. +The configuration that has caused your problem should then become +obvious and the rest can be restored if necessary. + +Anne +- -- +Need KDE help?
