KDE-3.3.2: small puzzles [LONG]

[Joseph E. Sacco, Ph.D.]

Hi Derick,

Thanks for responding. BTW, I am in Carlisle, MA  which is north west of
Boston.

OK... Let me understand.  

Using evolution-1.4.6 AND the KDE desktop:
* create an outgoing email message
* add an attachment of any sort
   * attachment panel appears at the bottom of the outgoing message
      * attachment is seen as an icon in this panel.

That's what it's supposed to do.

On my system, when running the KDE desktop:
* create an outgoing email message
* add an attachment of any sort
   * attachment panel appears at the bottom of the outgoing message
      * attachment icon is *NOT* seen, but the attachment is there.

When I run the GNOME desktop all is well.

If you actually see the attachment icon when running KDE, that would
tell me that I have hosed something,  maybe on the zillion dot files in
my home directory.  I'll create a new user and see if the problem goes
away.

-Joseph
