Once that is done once or twice, for even smaller images, I can see the launcher plasmoid on the upper left version of the correct background pix, which only shows on two of the mini-screens I can see on screen 0 now. The plasmoid is also there, but it mostly hidden in a black and white menu overlay that hasn't even got a zoom button on it. The menu overlays choices are: Lock Widgets Shortcut Settings Add activity Zoom out Configure Plasma Having zoomed out twice, I now have what looks like ten mini screens, 2 columns maybe 5 high, but the bottom two are cut off by the bottom of the screen, but only 8 are actually configured in another menu. And only two of those are showing the selected pix, the top 2 in the left column. And the second one does not have the plasmoid launcher. And of course, without a zoom _in_ function, there is no exit other than ctl+alt+bkspc & then to re startx. Hell of a way to run a train, what am I going to have to do, remove kde and reinstall it? If that is what it takes, I'll bet the farm on amanda, and switch distros, possibly to 64 bit centos5.3. Or depend on amanda for recovery and install centos5.3? This install, with its broken disk partitioner has been strangely problematic several times, but I found the reason for some of the instability last week, memtest86 made me rotate & reseat the dram sticks, and now all is well in that dept again. I have been a faithful redhat fan since RH5.1, but this fedora, with its purposely broken printing and audio ever since it was spun off, will be the straw that breaks this old camels back. We, with our bug reports, help RH make the paid version as stable as a rock, but I'm tired of jumping through the hoops, and info purposely being with held that prevents those of us who _can_ run an editor and fix or improve it. A prime example of that is this weeks thread, repeated at 2 or 3 week intervals, asking just where the hell pulse is started so they can disable it once and for all and have reliably working sound again. All we get there is obfuscation, & maybe its here or there for an answer. >Also, I sent another post with an ealier way, but it never seems to have > made it to the list (the same info did, in another list).

I can post to lkml and it comes back in 90 seconds maximum, the period of fetchmails scan set here. This server either needs more iron, or is at best, miss- configured. Today so far, its working fairly well, my posts are at least coming back in 10 to 15 minutes. Lets check, its is 14:02:55 local time right now. >Quicker way - and, I think, the way that I did it: > >http://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/FAQ/4.3#How_can_I_use_virtual_desktops_as_ac >tivities_.3F > >Anne This is with kde-4.3? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
