Hi just wondering if i'm doing anything wrong here (well.. i must be...... big time linux newbie) i'm running mandrake 9.2 with kde 3.1.3. i downloaded a couple of window decorations and installed these as per the instructions - ./configure make make install. all went well. the how to then simply says to open the control center and the new theme or decoration or whatever is available from the list. problem is both the ones i downloaded (one i wanted and a tester to see if the prob was with the f...
Hi is there any way to put the 'show desktop' control in the quick launch area? all i can do with the quick launch is add applications already in my task bar menu. i have also been unable to locate the command that actually performs this so i can just add another item and then add this to the quick launch area. obviously it would be ideal to have the show dektop in the quick launch without adding anything to the menu. anyway... any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks Takis
Hi i'm a big time newbie to linux and trying slowly to weane myself off my win2000 box. one thing i do like in win is the mdi interface which isn't available in linux (or is it!!??). anyway, my problem stems from the above where i'm using programs with mutliple windows such as numerous toolbars etc as found in the graphcis tool gimp (for example). all the windows come up nicely but due to the absence of mdi, they all just appear over whatever is open. what i aim to do as a result is use the mult...

i haven't tried kinternet, though i have read about it, and have since looked to download it but i can not find it anywhere. no doubt i'm probably looking in the wrong places and i can not seem to find it in my current installation (i am also quite a linux newbie). i am still looking for it, and i am still looking for a way to solve my current problem with kppp. thanks Takis
hi i've had a couple of issues using kppp with my internet connection. it seems to work fine, it dials the modem, connects ok, gives me a connected dialog with details and so forth, but when i open a browser i can't see anything. if i connect instead by activating the modem from the network device window, it dials my isp, and all works fine. browsing is no problem from any client, ftp ok and so forth. i just can't seem to get anything to work using kppp which i would rather use as using the mode...
