I first stopped using Kmail because of persistent bugs, then Konsole (switched to xterm after konsole began starting with the input window filling up with unending sequences of 'i' characters), and finally Konqueror (which had severe dns problems never experienced by Firefox). In the case of Konqueror, I experienced in the last several months a sudden increase in new problems with the browser that never occurred with Firefox. Now if the bugs were in X, then I should see them occuring with both Xterm and with Firefox, but I have not. So the evidence indicates the problems are in KDE. I am trying out a variety of other windows managers to see if the problems that I had with KDE and Gnome (on Fedora) persist. So far they seem not to. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
