And amazingly, on this kernel anyway (2.6.20-rc4) with selinux disabled, both kino and tvtime work just fine as gene. As does the gimp, including the hand built gutenprint-5.1.0 stuff I just installed as root. I made the rpms with checkinstall -R --inspect, what a PITA that is, but it works if you edit the filelist correctly. [...] >I don't really understand what your point is here.

But the only email agent offered in that environment is evolution, its an icon on the bottom bar, and that fails, no such file or program. Now, this could work, but I know from nothing about evolution even if it did work, so where do I change it to kmail, and then how do I import the corpus of 500megs of old mail from /root/Mail? Alternatively, what happened to evolution? procmail is already delivering the incoming mail that gets past it to /var/spool/mail/gene, with a root session of kmail pulling from there, so that conversion should be painless. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
