Sorry to disappoint you, Gan, but KDE and GNOME sometimes break under Linux as well. They don't crash as often as they used to, but they still have some rough edges -- as do just about every distribution of Linux, for that matter. IIRC, both KDE and GNOME were developed mainly on and for Linux, and one should expect issues when running these environments on BSD. Please don't take this as a flame or a troll, but the tone of your message sounds a bit frustrated. This is understandable; there've been times when I wanted give my machine a *very* hard boot (I wear steel-toed motorcycle boots). It's tempting to just sit there and bitch, but I find it more interesting to try and fix problems when they get in my way, and then tell the program's maintainer what went wrong and how I did it. But that's just me. I'm strange -- I grew up playing with Legos and still sometimes take my computer apart for fun. ****** Matthew Graybosch [matthew@starbreaker.net] http://www.starbreaker.net :: where dreams and reality collide "Screw Sartre.
