    Hiho,
    I've build KDE-3.5.5 from sources and KDE seems to work fine, except
    that I can't do anything on/with the background:
    - can't set any images
    - can't change any color (it is always black)
    - no popup-menu when i right-click on the background/desktop
    - can't copy any icons on the background (even at first start there's no
    icon)
    KDE-3.5.4 works fine (I've build from sources too). I have deleted my
    ~/.kde directory but didn't work.
    Maybe anybody have any idea why I can't change any settings an my
    background?
    thanks a lot, Marek

    Seems like a problem with kdesktop. What happens if you run kdesktop from
    Konsole?

    Sounds like kdesktop is not started. Check if it is running with:
    $ ps -e | grep kdesktop

    If it is not running, then start it with:
    $ kdesktop &
    and also make sure it is started each time you log in, by wither creating a
    startup script in ~/.kde/Autostart, or saving your session with it running.

    I'm missing kdesktop, it's not running and i can't find it at
    /opt/kde/bin/ (I've the complete KDE via script and didn't seen that
    kdebase doesn't build completely). It stops with:

    but this is the wrong mailinglist, i guess

    Greets and thanks so far, Marek

    Hmm, it looks that your kernel headers are somewhat broken or
    misconfigured.
    As a workaround, try to supply -k option to make; it will continue
    after an error, so there is a chance that your kdebase will be
    more complete :-).

    Yes, make -k seems to make it. K, I sure have no Joystick-Support in
    KDE (kcontrol) but I can live without that.

    Thanks again!!!
