(And I tried symlinking .kde3.4 to .kde3.3 before posting.) When kde started the first time, the wizard showed its face and I told it to quit (didn't want to lose my preferences= , of course). I don't know whether copying files is a solution. Are the formats compatible?

Of course, _maybe_ there is really some package missing... I invested good time customizing KDE to my needs, and I simply cannot work with crappy fonts and no keyboard shortcuts. The font of Konsole was Luxi Mono, which I setted by editting the config file a few versions ago, thanks to the help of someone in this list (yes, in version 3.4 it is still impossible to chose it from the Settings menu...). > Thanks, Jorge ---2000588604-884653701-1125527926=:15133-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
