Hi Alexandre,

A couple of odd behaviours that have me puzzeled apart from the one I
mentioned earlier, Dolphin and three instances of Gkrellm opening on
startup.
That happened again this afternoon when I booted up. The spell checker
doesn't appear to work in Kmail composer. The error message I get when
I try to spellcheck manually is that ISpell/Aspell could not be started
and to check path ?
The other issue is that all desktop icons and menu items cease to work.
In short the desktop becomes unresponsive and attempting to logout
fails with a hung screen although the mouse and keyboard still works.
A forced re-boot is required at this point.

Hello Baron,
First, Merry Christmas!
I only use web-based mail services, except at work where I use Outlook on Windows, so I
couldn't test Kmail that much. Can you go in Synaptic to check if the spellcheck
programs you want are installed?
I will try to test Kmail a little more when I will do my next livecd. (at the next release
of TDE)
I have seen that sometimes, it takes a little longer (maybe 10 seconds longer) to log out,
but I haven't seen it lock completely with all the desktop as you say. As on any linux
system, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace restarts or close the X server and Ctrl-Alt-Del reboots the
computer the normal way. I don't know if these are TDE problems or if these are PCLOS
problems. Did you had such problems in the past with a TDE system (as the Fedora livecd or
your own installation...)?
What puzzle me in that is always this question: What would Mom do if it would happen to
her?
The biggest problem I see with linux is when the system don't boot properly because of
HDD corruption and it drops you to a shell
Merry Christmas to everyone!
