Thank you Joao. I'll keep trying, but I would really like to know what may have caused the problem. As you said, maybe things will just work some day after some update. In the past some of my problems with KDE desktop seem to be solved this way: do nothing, just keep updating, and hope for the best :). Unfortunately I don't have much time to devote to learn and understand internals of linux, and it seems not to like me :). Thanks again! NOTE FOR THE INTERESTED: I'm open to all suggestions :).
