Here are some more obstacles encountered. Kworldview : no longer an independent app (as in 3.5.10), but seems to have been incorporated into Marble (no problem with that). I have a file '/usr/share/kde4/services/plasma-applet-kworldclock.desktop', which belongs to Marble, but I can't find a way to use it in Marble. Gwenview : can one view hidden files ? -- it's under 'view' in 3.5.10 & also assigned to Control-H , but nowhere to be seen in 4.3.1 . Kcontrol : might this help with configuring KDE 4.3.1 apps ? -- eg I really don't like the wider toolbars in 4.3.1 & would like to have smaller icons & no accompanying descriptions. The version for 3.5.10 doesn't work on the Fluxbox desktop: it opens but lacks the list of options on the left side. Would I have more success with 4.3.1 (there are 8 dependencies) ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
