Normally I just use Vim ^_^ If I'm doing something with graphics, I tend to use OOo (Karbon is hardly useable at the moment), but for plain text stuff I prefer KWord (it's much faster) BTW is it just the Debian version, or is the new version of OOo much easier on the eye (it's gone all GNOMEish)
I had this problem with Mandrake 9.2 and 10 (now I use Debian Sarge, which is fine). If you build kdeartwork-screensaver from source then apparently it fixes it (XScreenSaver detection seems to be broken in Mandrake's packages). I just disabled the KDE screensaver and used xscreensaver instead (although this meant I couldn't use the extremely pretty Euphoria -_-) Anyway, try building the screensaver package from source.
I love it (it's sad, but it's the main reason I upgraded my graphics card ^_^) Just wish it had more music (it gets a bit monotonous after a while...)
Re: the screensaver thing Is it just the XScreenSaver stuff that's disappearing. I couldn't get these to appear, either. I think you have to build your own version of the kde-artwork-screensaver package to make them appear (Mandrake seems to have broke this, for some unknown reason) You could always just disable the KDE screensaver and use XScreensaver instead (that's what I did, as I'm a lazy bugger ^_~) As to the sound thing, try becoming root and typing something like chmod +rwx /dev/dsp /dev...
I have to say Debian ^_^ It was the first one I ever tried (not really a good idea, looking back), installing it onto my old Archimedes, just for a challenge. Since then I went back to RISC OS, and eventually ended up forking out for a SuSE 8.2 box set. Wanting something more recent, I went through Mandrake 9.2, then 10, and now I'm back with Debian (Sarge), and it's much friendlier than I ever remembered it (I even got the install right first time ^_^)
It's safer to do it with your hostname on the end eg. hostname enceladus : xhost +enceladus That way, only connections from enceladus would be accepted (I think that's how it works ^_^)
This is something I've been wanting to do for ages, but seeing as I've never wrote anything for Qt/KDE before, I'm a bit intimidated. ^_^ What I'm thinking of is something along the lines of Knights (possibly even just a modification), but for Shogi. (In a flash of inspiration I even came up with a name - Kinshou ^_^) Anyone want to help with this? (I'll probably need a lot - the last GUI programming I did was on RISC OS 4, making a Welcome banner switcher...)
I love it (I'm shallow enough to be impressed by translucent panels and stuff like that ^_^ Only one thing: Is anyone else's kdesktop keep crashing then reappearing? (and konqueror just crashing) (It might be fixed in 3.2.3, but I haven't got ADSL yet, and I fear the mighty BT ^_~)
