Someone kindly pointed me at the "kdeglobals" file, as the one holding this setting. Turns out, goodness knows how, that this file was set as "root" ownership (owner and group). So - naturally - changing the setting wouldn't take, since I didn't have access to that file as my normal user.

Good to hear you're up and running. Just in case you didn't know, I think you can do a "chown <user>:<group> file" all in one. Instead of using both chown & chgrp. You can also just do "chown :<grp> file" to just set another group. BTW, I've got my mouse working nicely...remember I didn't know how to do X copying using the wheel mice? My latest problem is that, for some reason, Nautilus isn't starting by default on my system (when I load into Gnome). It loads OK when loaded manually. I can't find an rc file named after nautilus. Must try grepping for it. -- regs rupert ______________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group - http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements-http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug
