(Personal > preference) Indeed YMMV. I use it every day and am getting used to its quirks, though I get frustrated about things that changed arbitrarily, e.g. right now I can't remember how to save my session settings. It used to be a simple button in the K Menu, but now it isn't and there seems to be nothing about it in the docs. I know it's possible because I've done before, I just can't remember how :-) Also, some of the docs seem to still be for KDE 3.5 and haven't been updated. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
