It should be "T" as Trinity. Twrite, Tedit, Tview, Tmail, Tonqueror... Best Year 2019 to everybody, health and Love. André

I have to agree with Steve for all the reasons stated. Along with the fact that it's history, legacy. KDE 3.5.x was a near perfect gui. Let's honour it. Kate

debug symbols for kmail

by Stefan Krusche

Good day everyone, I'm trying to create a crash report for a kmail bug. There seems to be no debian package with debug symbols for kmail, like "kmail-trinity-dbgsym", for example, analogue to many other TDE packages. Is it not needed? I would like to know if there's an online resource about how to debug TDE, especially with information on which debug symbols need to be installed. Any hints much appreciated. Thanks, and Kind regards, Stefan

I have to seen this kind of "random scroll/click" behavior from defective mice. Gene, check your settings and try another mouse. If you are using a wireless mouse, try a corded mouse. Either way, for the moment, assume the mouse is defective and/or the settings are off. Swap out the mooose in your hooose! Kate

I just found the src of all my troubles keeping kmail confgured

by Gene Heskett

Greetings everybody; Something just now got my attention as I was moving the mouse, and it explains perfectly all the trouble I've ever had keeping it configured. It would suddenly start keeping sent mail in some random folder intended for incoming, or it would change the mail transport, or the default dictionary, this despite the 4 sticky boxes all being checked. A. There are no wheel clickers in modern mice. B. because of this, its extremely difficult to move the mouse about the screen without also causing the wheel to move however minutely. C. Stopping the pointer above one of the header lines and scrolling the wheel, scrolls it thru all the selections available for that particular line (sent-mail, dictionary, mail transport etc) and when the mouse has moved on, without a click, the option remains selected. IMO this is a bug, a big PITA bug. IMO to change that stuff, one should first have to uncheck the sticky box, make your selection and lock it again with a sticky box checkmark. Can this be looked at? Please? Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. Please use in that order." -Ed Howdershelt (Author) Genes Web page <http://geneslinuxbox.net:6309/gene>

Desktop Icons keep rearranging

by borglabs4

Hi people I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this. User PCLOS, it happens on both 32 and 64 bit versions. After arranging the desktop icons (all kinds), they rearrange themselves each time I load the TDE. They just scatter everywhere. I have tried, arranging to grid, locking in place. No setting seems to work. When I lock the icons in place, they still rearrange and then lock. Any ideas? Kate
