| Following this morning's apt upgrades and a reboot for unrelated
| reasons, I've encounted unexpected behavior with parts of TDE.
|
| First, when the desktop starts, the mouse pointer normally becomes
| considerably smaller, reflecting the change from whatever the login
| screen resolution is to the TDE desktop resolution for my 1920x2160
| screen, but now it stays big.
|
| The Kicker panel and its icons remain the size they've always been, but
| the font both for Kicker applications -- taskbar, calendar, the actual
| menu in KMenu -- have become minuscule. Really tiny, as in 6pt. tiny.
| The title bar font has also become much smaller.
|
| There are no changes I've found in the behavior of the applications
| themselves. In fact, when I move the mouse pointer into an application
| it reverts to the normally smaller size. So this appears to apply to the
| desktop, window decorations, and Kicker only.
|
| I've made no configuration changes.
|
| Any idea where I should look to fix what seems to have gotten broken? I
| presume there's some setting that the items mentioned abnove have in
| common, but damned if I have been able to figure out what it is.
|
| I'm running R14.0.11(DEVELOPMENT), which is pretty much always stable.
I changed mouse cursor themes -- I'd been using redglass because there's no
reverse-color theme, alas, nor have I figured out how to make one -- and
restarted TDE. Fonts returned to normal. Changed back to redglass.
Restarted TDE. Mouse returned to normal. So.
Would still love to know what caused the problem to begin with, though.
