My guess is that you haven't yet got used to the fact that (other than e.g. Windows) KDE by default doesn't require a double click to start a program. If you click on something twice, it will be started twice. Or rather, as most programs detect duplicates of themselves, they will start, but then exit as soon as they detect this. So what you are seeing is _probably_ due to what you are doing. Your computer is taking your actions literally. Just my guess, however. There might really be a bug if you don't double click. -- Jens Benecke http://www.hitchhikers.de/ - Die kostenlose Mitfahrzentrale für ganz Europa
