[Clug-tech] KDE 4 Question

[Shawn]

I've been seeing some odd issues like that.  They usually go away the 
next time I boot up the computer.  Then again, I've been shuffling 
hardware the past few days, so this sort of thing was expected.

Think I'll do a "clean" install with Ubuntu 9.10 though to help sort out 
any damage I may have done to configs over the past year or so.  I 
really should be more gentle with my boxes...  :)
