okay, a quick caveat before i begin:
I know it has been advised not to hang out logged in as root,
but i can't seem to get kde (on slack 9.0) to share my internet connection
with any other user so in the meantime......
i'm playing with some different taskbar toys, and i check out the weather
tool. Its neat, i leave it on until im done for the evening, log out and power down. Next time i run kde the weather program automatically starts up and tries to find the website, but my only connection is dialup, and im not connected yet, so an error pops up, something like unable to connect to weather.org. i hit ok, it pops up again, and again, and again. hitting alt-escape i try to kill the program- this doesn't seem to help. finally by clicking 19000 ok's i get past it, but the taskbar is frozen. anything else works on the desktop just no icons from the taskbar. I'm stuck.
is there anyway to reset my startup prefrences? even if its the prefrences for root?
please help?!
