Haven't changed the name this millenium. This is my personal box I use to monitor systems at a site, and while it's not critical it's production (which is why I can play). Didn't know that was a problem, but I'd be unlikely to rename from X if I had to.
If restarting KDE would have fixed it I would ignore the issue (once), but no new KDE start did any good until a reboot. -- bill davidsen <davidsen@tmr.com> CTO, TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with little computers since 1979. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
