Has anyone else seen anything like this? Is there any way > to run totem, etc. without running GNOME? I second this, it also happens when starting totem within KDE. I start totem (accedentaly, since I never use it really), something starts changing the background to the default blue picture, repeatedly, every 30 seconds or so. I open the KDE desktop settings, and my old background is still considered to be "active", but it isn't what I see. I switch it off and back on, apply, and KDE puts my background back on the screen. It doesn't last long, though --- after several seconds it is changed again to default blue picture. I also see firefox to crash. Don't know about the screensaver, I use none. Once totem has been run, this annoying bahavior stops if I logout and login back, ie. restart KDE. But only until next run of totem. Any help on this appreciated. Best, :-) Marko
