Hi Nate, just to add my experiences, > Bugs. On startup, artsd does not start successfully. On my system this works for some boots, but not for all. Is there maybe some sleep during the initialisation scripts too short or missing? > Kaiman crashes when trying to load mp3 files, rather, > I get an error that says "artsd not started". But if not always at launch automatically, I always succeeded in starting artsd by hand. For Kaiman Iīm just compiling it (I suppose itīs in kdemultimedia2 ?) I will add my experience, when itīs done. > Second > kwrited does not start successfully and I get a crash > panel. Third, konsole does not start and I get a > crash panel. This is true for me only, if I launch X by kdm. If I do startx from the command line, those points work fine. Somebody can imagine, what is causing this behaviour? I will have a close look on my start scripts later on. > Trying to start the embedded konsole in > konqueror crashes konqueror. Only the konsole crashes here, either X started with kdm or startx. Konqueror lives on. > Fourth, konqueror does > not handle javascript correctly, and yes I did enable > it. Even worse: I didnīt enable it, but it executes some code, e.g. automatically opening new windows. Donīt check out the following link, one very brave guy posted here in his signature, because it will open new windows until death of your browser at least (also konqueror killed my X, when I switched to a terminal to stop it with a kill command.) www.nul.cjb.net .

In which tarball is this? kdeutil? Didnīt install this until now. > Konqueror does not load all images all the time. DId you compile QT with GIF-support?

Also it is able to read files from CD. What exactly do you mean with "create devices"? On the kde homepage I read about imap support, but kmail only offers me local mbox oder pop3. Where must I look for imap support? Or is this another application? Hope to read more stuff about this, to be able to check whether I have misconfigured something or weīre facing common problems. kdm seems to be kind of small showstopper, but launched by startx I faced no crashes of any application so far (except the above mentioned javascript problem with konqueror, which cost one X session). If we sorted out misconfigurations, whom should we report the errors? Port maintainer or kde directly? Has anybody tried, if those errors exist in the Linux version also? What is the correct discussion list for kde related problems? Ciao Siegbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
