RE: 2nd RE: It's impossible in my KDE 3.5 Mandriva to set up more than one desktop

the files you mention are links. If you want to (re)move the directory ".kde" in your home directory then 1. you don't login at kdm / gdm / xdm or whatever 2. when you are at your login prompt (kdm/gdm/xdm) you just type in Ctrl+Alt+F2 (all three buttons together) to get the virtual termninal, then you log in as yourself or as root, go to your directory and move your .kde-directory with "mv .kde .kde-old" (without slash!) 3. you may now type Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get to your grafical login site (kdm/gd...

RE: It's impossible in my KDE 3.5 Mandriva to set up more than one desktop

yes, compiz switches off the desktop thing in KDE. But in compiz there is something else which enlarges your desktop. In compiz you have 4 horizontal "desktops" as default, in compiz it is called large desktop or so, on a rotatable cube. If you have ccsm (compizconfig session manager) then you may configure your "desktop" size as you like, and configure how you want to reach to the other faces of that cube. You may configure it to use your large desktop like a wall, too. there is a link where yo...

Minimize from Keyboard

With the 104-key-layout you may get insufficient support of your windows-key (I think so). You could edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf partly (if you use your keyboard per PS/2): Source code 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 ... ... Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout0" # maybe your layout name is different ... InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" ... EndSection ... ... Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbLayout" "en" # or "us"? I don't use both of ...

Konqueror : Control + Click = open with kate (or other)

There is something easier than that: You preset some file type with a particular app, so you just left click on the file and you should be happy. I hope, I understood your problem.

I attached a shot. kcontrol > Regional & Accessibility > Keyboard Layout > Keyboard model: There you choose your model. In most of the cases the standard one with the 104 or 105 keys is enough. But if you have something special you may have a look there.

Problems with programm 'history'-function [Workaround]

Maybe posting your desire to the developers? the options window doesn't have many leverages to set up kaffeine Another possibility is to have a template kaffeinerc. Everytime you log in the template is copied to ~/.kde/share/config/ before kaffeine is started. You can make a script which does the copying an afterwards starting kaffeine. So the annoying pop up window doesn't appear because the kaffeinerc doesn't have to be read only with this method

No warning message on Shutdown

As a user you don't get a message because the command is performed as root and root hasn't access to your destop (!). The only possibility is maybe to keep a console open and eye sight / always on top to see the message

Problems with programm 'history'-function [Workaround]

I don't know a switch in KDE but you may prevent your USB-Drive to spin down with the following on your Samba-server as root: hdparm -S 0 /dev/[USBDevice] ([USBDevice] means your USB-Disk) I recommend reading the man-page of hdparm, too, because of some dangerous things with other options of hdparm I don't know if it was part of your intent.

you're right. I tried it out and "nope". I don't know why this is so, maybe KDE reserves it (maybe google helps out). Why not using "Win+KP_Subtract" (i.e. Windows-Key with "minus" on the numeric keypad) as an alternative if you have a keyboard with a Win-Key?

No write access to /home/user/.ICEauthority

ad 1: Why do you start amarok as root ?????? if you want to access your iPod via Amarok and KDE doesn't mount it automatically (it normally does when you plug in your device after a few seconds, even Amarok suggests using it as your mobile music device!), you may mount iPod manually and instruct Amarok to use that mounted directory as your mobile music device. The only point where you may act as root is in mounting the device and setting the proper rights, that the normal user may use it. ad 2: ...

Keyboard Error,

A somewhat brutal way is to log in via Gnome, then using a Terminal (e.g. xterm) an moving your kde-directory ($HOME/.kde) to something else (e.g. "mv $HOME/.kde $HOME/kde-backup). After that you log out and log into KDE. With this method you loose all your settings etc. in KDE, but at least you get your keyboard. But, because you only moved your prior KDE-directory you may get your settings via the Terminal again. At least it's the fastest method for your problem
