I see you've had some responses to your question, and hope you've got the dialog box back. I've always hated these "allways do this" checkboxes. The dialog box never tells you which file to go to if you want to revert this action of checking the box. One I came across recently was to do with Kmail. Someone had put the delete icon on the actions bar. This, when you click on it brings up a dialog box for you to confirm the deletion of a file, along with the option of an "allways do this" checkbox. I looked in ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc, and there was no entry for this. Just for fun I checked the box, and lo and behold a new line appeared in ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc. I'm not booted into the distro I tried it on at the mo, but IIRC it gave a true/false option to the dialog box, so you can get the dialog box back, but only when you know where to look. I could go on with this, and complaining about the way that removable media is handled now. For the hell of it I will do. You put a music cd in the drive, and a dialog box now comes up saying "well man, what do you want me to do with this?". this along with a check box saying "allways take this action for this sort of media", or something like that. So I stupidly check the box. Now I put a data cdrom in the drive, and check the box for allways do this for this media. Now I have a cdrom from a music magazine, and this has both audio, and data on it. What happens now when I load the cdrom???? Perhaps I'm taking the pish here, but did like it when the removable media drives were in /etc/fstab. I could mount a data disc from Kdiskfree with no problems, and music cd's would run using Kscd. Enough said. Nigel.
