kmilo is deactvated.
The thing is, "kmix" is not called in the sense of execute a binary. When I create a bash program in /opt/trinity/bin/kmix it is never called but I get the osd message that "kmix is not running" - which is kind of misleading, 'cause when kmix is intalled but not running then pressing e.g. "volumeup" starts kmix and the volume keys work. In that case both kmix and tmix are running.
So I'm kind of confused. Could "kmix" be started using dcop or some other tde specific mechanism?
