Works ok if kcontrol is run from a konsole though. That=20 means it's a path problem; $KDEDIR comes first in kde environment's path,=20 before /usr, and so it probably runs the old ksplash for the preview which = of=20 course fails. Which raises again the question of why this is so. startkde currently says, PATH=3D$KDEDIR:$PATH It could say: PATH=3D/usr:$KDEDIR:$PATH I'll have to consider it. What apps other than ksplash could ever exist in both /usr/bin and KDEDIR/b= in,=20 and would we want the ones in KDEDIR to take precedence? Hard to say withou= t=20 any concrete examples, and I can't think of any. The alternate possibilty is of course to patch ksplash-ml to run the right= =20 ksplash binary for its preview function (i.e. the one in its install path).= =20 This would even stand a good chance of being accepted upstream into the=20 generic source. Considering that ksplash-ml is likely to be merged into=20 kdebase for kde 3.2, replacing the old ksplash, we don't want to change=20 startkde just to accomodate it.
