They are all owned by root:root, and I'm doing this as root. So I'm not much further along at understanding this. And somehow, I think this has a lot to do with painfully slow startup times for such as kmail and FF. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
