A note that may or may not be relevant: I use a KVM switch and my mouse and keyboard are attached to it. I'm running this kernel 2.6.24.4-64.fc8 -- Launch Kate to edit Start typing a perl program and save it --Open the Terminal On the Bottom Sidebar click on the icon labeled "Terminal" The terminal opens in the lower pane. Type commands to change perms and run the program $ chmod 750 myprog $ ./myprog --Go back and edit the program some more, then go back to the terminal to run the program. Everything is fine so far. All the above works well as long as the terminal remains at the lower position. --Move the Terminal Right-click on the Terminal icon on the lower sidebar and select "Left Sidebar" to place the terminal on the left side. At this point the cursor may or may not become a little white box. If the cursor became a white box, then nothing else can be typed in. The only way to get the terminal back to work is to close it by _left-clicking_ on the Terminal icon, which is now on the left side. Then click on the icon again to open it. At this point you'll be able to enter commands for as long as you stay on the terminal. The terminal is disabled as soon as you click on the editing pane on the right to continue typing your program. . At this point the terminal may not work at all and it may be necessary to exit Kate and relaunch it. By default Kate will open the Terminal at the Bottom Sidebar. Let me know your results.
