Thanks to all that have posted. |
| 103 |
|
| 104 |
I tried a "clean start": I've deleted all related (at least all that I |
| 105 |
could find) files used by baloo (just kept some backup copies in a ZIP |
| 106 |
file, just in case). |
| 107 |
|
| 108 |
As expected, all of them are back, and also that popup window, requiring |
| 109 |
root password. |
| 110 |
|
| 111 |
I guess, now, I am (we are) looking on the wrong place, perhaps this is a |
| 112 |
global setting, not a user one. |
| 113 |
|
| 114 |
Going to check this out. |

Thanks again, and |
| 117 |
Best Regards |
