Hi Guys,
First may I wish you all a slightly belated "Merry Christmas". I've not
been at home for a couple of days.

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...)?
I've tried three live CD and yours is the only one I liked enough to
actually install. Its actually on two other machines beloging to
friends as well
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
Touch Wood ! I've not had any distribution suffer HDD corruption though
I've had at least one HDD die on me during configuration. The
manufacturer (WD) replaced it under warranty
Merry Christmas to everyone!

The biggest issue for me is the complete lack of response from the
desktop clickable items, icons and menu. It seems to follow an
extended browsing session using both Firefox and Chrome.
