I'm guessing it's a config problem, likely something in your user-specific |
| 24 |
config (under ~/.kde). Thus, the first step in testing is to either |
| 25 |
create a new user with a default config and try it there, or backup and |
| 26 |
delete your user config (while logged out of KDE), then log back in and |
| 27 |
see if the problem still exists. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
If the problem is gone with a default user config, then, if like me you |
| 30 |
have enough customized settings you don't want to blow the /entire/ thing |
| 31 |
away, it's time to start narrowing it down, restoring part of your old |
| 32 |
config, testing, then either restoring more or deleting half the restored |
| 33 |
config, until you narrow it down to first a single dir, then a single |
| 34 |
file, then optionally a single section and/or line within that file. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
That's the approach I'd take. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
If the problem continues to exist with a "clean" user config, then more in |
| 39 |
depth troubleshooting will be necessary. However, I suspect it's the user |
| 40 |
config, and if so, it's unlikely any amount of unmerging/remerging would |
| 41 |
fix the problem. |
