Hello, I have googled for this problem and have not found a solution yet. All of a sudden when I log on to my kde desktop I have the following problems. Amarok loads two copies of itself and the kmixer volume control applet no longer starts minimized in the panel dock, it starts maximized. I have looked in the ~/.kde/share/config directory and have not found anything I think is causing the problem. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. -- John Registered Linux User 263680, get counted at http://counter.li.org
