No .kde3.4, as you see. (And I tried symlinking .kde3.4 to .kde3.3 before |
| 20 |
posting.) When kde started the first time, the wizard |
| 21 |
showed its face and I told it to quit (didn't want to lose my preferences, |
| 22 |
of course). |
| 23 |
I don't know whether copying files is a solution. Are the formats |
| 24 |
compatible? Anyway, previous upgrades didn't have this effect. |

Flaming is not my idea of fun, but this situation is not acceptable, |
| 32 |
either. Of course, _maybe_ there is really some package missing... |
| 33 |
I invested good time customizing KDE to my needs, and I simply cannot |
| 34 |
work with crappy fonts and no keyboard shortcuts. The font of Konsole |
| 35 |
was Luxi Mono, which I setted by editting the config file a few versions |
| 36 |
ago, thanks to the help of someone in this list (yes, in version 3.4 it |
| 37 |
is still impossible to chose it from the Settings menu...). |
