104 I went to the KDE control center, I haven't been in there in ages. I
105 think there is something different with the new version of gtk or
106 something. I haven't changed anything else in a long while. Sort of
107 got everything like I want it until now anyway.

109 I may try going back to the old version to test this theory.
