two small problems with kde-cygwin
i recently installed kde 3.1.1 on my w2k pc. overall,
it works well aside from somewhat sluggish response --
i guess it's time to upgrade to a faster processor.
two small software-related problems:
1. when i request for help from the toolbar icon, each item
in the contents panel of the help window is
repeated; i.e., the first few items read:
Welcome to KDE
Welcome to KDE
KDE user's manual
KDE user's manual
Application Manuals
Application Manuals
etc.
2. when i invoke the "maximal Desktop,"
an xterm window doesn't work properly
when invoked using "xterm &" from
a Konsole window; specifically, no text
gets displayed in the xterm, either when typed
from the keyboard or output from the OS. all
i see in the xterm is the cursor (without prompt),
which responds appropriately to line feeds.
strangely, this probem does NOT occur when
i emply the "minimal Desktop;" in other words,
an xterm invoked from a Konsole window works
fine. is buying more memory the "cure?"
