Quoted Originally posted by anda_skoa If you find time read up on the freedesktop.org directory scheme. It lets you create directory listing which are searched, not just one global and one user-local one. This can be used to have changes to the global distributor files while still having them apply to all users. See also kde-config --types, especially the last three ones. Cheers, _ Yes, that's a better way to do it. I will read up on that. For now I will do the quick and dirty. I have to upgrad...

Quoted Originally posted by anda_skoa As far as I know the application is more or less constructed according a XML file and each entry has its own .desktop file. I guess manually merging local changes to the global files should work as well. I think (haven't edited my menu yet) the local file is called something like kmenuedit.menu and could be under .config if it isn't under .local I guess you have more to do than just removing applications from the menu? Cheers, _ That's it! Thanks. homedir/....

Quoted Originally posted by anda_skoa The K menu is built according to the freedesktop.org menu specification. This means there is are global file and your local changes are merged in at runtime, but you could add those changes to the global files as well. Cheers, _ Thanks. I have not had time to understand how the freedesktop menus work. A nice feature would be to have an import menus on kmenuedit. So that another user could just import my custom menus. Is there a way to copy some files from m...

I'm running KDE (3.3.2) on a debian system and went through the trouble of editing the start menus to what I liked. I felt that they were too cluttered. Anyway, I'd like to transfer those menu setting to other users. I tried copying my homedir/.local directory (recursively) to another user, but that didn't work. What is the best way to customize the menus on a system for all users? Thanks, Steve

I was wondering if kmail has a feature similar to thunderbird, where I can leave messages on the POP server, but if I deleted them, they get deleted on the server also.

mart_k You hit it right on the money. Thanks very much. Really appreciate the help. I installed kdepim, using apt-get and got a bunch of other packages with it. Now it works. IMHO, this may be the biggest problem with kde. Upgrading or installing. It is always a bear to upgrade. It appears some of the debian packages have some dependency problems. Thanks again, Steve

I can't find any newimap in my home directory area and locate returns: > locate .protocol |grep imap /usr/share/services/imap4.protocol /usr/share/services/imaps.protocol locate newimap does not return anything at all. When kmail starts, the imap account is collapsed. The "+" is next to the folder. When I try to expand the folder, the error message pops up. Steve

Quoted Original von mart_k Do you get the same error message if you enter the following url in the location bar: newimap://username@server/INBOX (where username and server should be replaced by your username and your server)? Do you have an entry "newimap" in the kinfocenter->protocols list? No, I don't have that in kinfocenter. Did you mean konqueror's location bar? This error pops up in kmail, when I click on the one account that is an IMAP account. And I get that glass breaking sound. Haven'...

I guess I went too far in an upgrade I'm using a debian based system and have been upgrading my kde. I am now getting an error in kmail on an account that was working for me before. Could not start process for newimap. I've listed many of my installed kde packages below. I have been getting them from the unstable debian tree. Any ideas?

I'm using debian based Libranet linux. After upgrading to kde 3.2, I started having problems displaying xemacs from solaris on my laptop. It doesn't happen with fluxbox. So I just upgraded to kde 3.3 to get a newer version of kwin. But I have the same problem. The problem occurs when I select something in xemacs and the error message that keeps flashing in the modeline says the selection conversion type is nil. I've put the selection-converter info from xemacs below. Can anyone give me a hint as...
