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 04 Jan '19

04 Jan '19

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.

Desktop Icons keep rearranging
by borglabs4 01 Jan '19

01 Jan '19

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

Just enter "engine" without the quotes. If it's NOT there, install it and see if that helps. Remember to go to kcontrol and adjust the gtk3 to default. It's under appearances and themes. Kate

The problem is you are using an incompatible theme to "retheme" the the application UI. For gtk2, I use qtcurve. For gtk3, I use default. That's works well for me. However, I can't say this will for you but it's a starting point. Good luck and cheers, Kate

Hi! :-) I can't see any network manager tray icon. Is it normal? I also tried Wicd, but it doesn't have any icon either. Am I missing something? :-) TIA! G.

Kpersonalizer problem
by Thierry de Coulon 27 Dec '18

27 Dec '18

Hi all, I've got a little but nagging problem with Kpersonalizer. I've setup a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian (the latest Raspbian Stretch works very well on a 3 B+, by the way) and installed TDE from Slavek's repositories. Then I decided to rename the "Pi" user. Since that, every time I log in I get Kpersonalizer. If I don't run it, I get no icons on the desktop. If I do, some of my previous settings are kept, some are lost (colours, windows decorations). This certainly is a permission problem and dome file not being written, but where? Root works very well. I could (and possibly will) create a new user, but first I would like to understand what is not going right. Thierry
