    KDE Problems

    1. How do I get rid of the huge Mandriva Kmenu button and replace it with a bettar one?

    2. My max screen res is 1024 x 768. On previous distros, it went to 1152 x 864. How do I get this res?

    For number 2, run XFdrake to reconfigure the card.

    for 1 , you can change your default kmenu with Kbfx , Kbfx looks nice and and you can search for your menu entries also , there is should be a version for Mandriva , but if not you have to compile it from source , and it's better to supply the prefix=/usr ( or the prefix of your kde in mandriva Sorry i don't use mandriva to know in details ).

    Regards.

    daark.child: I am able to do that. Thanx.

    aliov: I will look for Kbfx later. But I have not been able to find the binaries o KDE and GNOME in Mandriva. It's not long since I have installed it. I looked into /opt as they are usually there but can't find them. Is it necessary to put prefix=/usr? What if the compiled binary is in another locale?

    it's just avoiding problems , i don't know if that was related to Slack itself but while Slack 12 compiled KDE with prefix=/usr and not like Slack 11. i've compiled the kbfx menu with /opt and it simply won't work properly , it crashes sometimes and so on , after removing and compiling with /usr as prefix it worked like a charm , so i can't assume it has to be like that .
