Yes, that's how it *should* work, but it evidently isn't. Maybe someone else more experienced in KDE can explain what happened and why the particular functions are now not available to plain users, or if you have another machine which has been running properly you could compare and contrast access rights between the two systems. Meanwhile, just as a test, you may want to logout of X, move the /root/.kde4 folder and /home//.kde4 somewhere else, then restart X as a plain user and see if these functions are working properly now. If not then I suspect the problem is not with these user specific configuration files but with the system KDE or X files. HTH. --=20 Regards, Mick
