desktop

Hi Just as I added the last item, in order to do all of my work related
functions using linux, I've encountered another problem. I am using REDhat
7.1 with the KDE desktop.

I have a root identity and also a user account which is what I plan to useday
to day. THe newproblem isthat allof the iconsfor the programsIneed to use
have disapeared from my desktop. In fact all icons haved isapeared from my
desk top.

If I use Konquerer to view my home directory, there is still an entry for my
desktop with all the iconsshown, although they don't work. IfiguredI couldgo
to the "K" and go to the run command and enter the command to run aprogram,
but that doesen't do anything either.

I can launch programs from the command line, but I really prefer to be able
to launch programs from icons. By the way, I can no longer create new icons
either.
I don't think I am doing anything to extreme. I need to use star office, the
Opera browser, Kmail, and from the command line Iaunch an ssh session to my
office with several ports forwarded,. Through one of the forwarded ports,
namley 23, I launch a windows telnet client, Netterm (I have installed and
configured wine) which hasall sorts of hot keys programed in

All of thisworks fine, but it is so much easier to launch from icons

Regards,


Charlie
