could be. this one throws the "The IP address of the host www. [hostname].org does not match the one the certificate was issued to." fair enough. then i am prompted to accept it this once or forever. i click on "forever." which matters not a whit, because the next time i check the mail, the same thing happens. doesn't even stick when i don't restart or anything.
it was a known bug in the kde-3.x crowd, which they resolved by bringing out kde4, which i despise. it was noted on the trinity bug list and someone made a patch, which time was kind enough to give me instructions on compiling but which simply refused to go here.
(it has been awhile since i compiled anything here; not since it was "configure -prefix=/opt/kde" "make" "make install" -- i even once wrote that kde was getting so big that i could drive from newtown, ct., to key west, fla., in the time it took: http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/opinions/3420/1 )
the odd thing is that this issue did not exist in the previous trinity distribution (or kubuntu 10.04; it's not clear to me exactly where the failure to believe that "forever" means forever resides). it got introduced somehow. i would like to figure out what file contains the malignancy and see if i can replace it with an earlier version -- or something.
