That should detect a KDE > problem if it exists. > The way I did was this. The entry you have but I edited it to run as root when it is clicked on. I have a couple things that are set that way. Kbackup is set that way. It can't access some files I want to backup if it is set to run as a user. You can edit this by clicking the advanced tab in the menu editor. I also have konqueror set as my file manager and it is set to run as root. It is running on another desktop right now. It works fine. I can run Kbackup, as root, and it connects just fine. I just tried it to make sure. Since I can go to my /root directory, I know it is running as root. Weird things always happen to me. Why can't something weird like winning the lottery happen to me? lol Dale :-) :-)
