After last nights meeting, I figured that I'd use KDE. I've used KDE on other machines and I liked it. Unfortunately, some stuff doesn't seem to work. For instance, on my gnome desktop, when I plug in my external USB hard drive, it shows up on the gnome desktop, but not on my KDE desktop. While I could've gotten around that, it also cannot be found in Konquerer, or even from a command line! That's the only thing I've found so far. I did notice that some apps were there and working when they didn't exist or didn't work on gnome. So I will keep using gnome on my Fedora Core 4 laptop, until I find a better one. Walt
HI Walt, I'm not quite sure *how* to make it work, but I do remember having the functionality that you described in KDE. In fact, I remember turning it off(!) because I didn't care for it - gotta love the choices in Linux. ;-) However, I can't remember how I disabled it, either. My guess would be that this has something to do with hotplug and /etc/fstab for starters. I'm not quite sure about the KDE hook. Later, Andy

Per the suggestion of Chuck Anderson I logged in under a new account. GNOME desktop worked just as it should. So I removed all of the /home/kjones/.gconf directory and logged in again as myself.
Still it did not work correctly. In particular the right click on empty space did not work.
I did a "diff -r" on the two (now default versions I suppose) .gconf directories. They seemed the same save for unique identifiers. Where do I look to find the differences?
Calls to xmodmap in your .bash*, .xinitrc, or startx setup files? If the buttons don't work in the program, maybe the program is fine, but somebody moved the buttons.
This is just a random guess, of course. I have never seen an empty space on any desktop of mine.
