*sighs* If THAT is your solution, I suggest that you stay with the old
system and NEVER install new software.
I would like to know the source of the problem. Ignoring it and
reverting to a version of Xorg or KDE that nobody is going to use
anymore shortly, is apparently not a long-term solution.
I don't want to be unfair. But if you could tell me at least if there is
a kind of error message, or different keyboard choices in the KDE
control center which won't work or that are not available anymore, that
would help somehow in locating the problem.

cf?

I don't intend to "patch" software that is easily configurable. If you
recommend a differen setting for Firefox concerning fonts (which are
perfectly readable on our test systems, btw), I would be happy to
receive your improved configuration files.

So, your suggestion is to return to Mozilla 1.4.3, instead of increasing
the URL font and/or search window size, right?

If there is no solution that I can use, it doesn't help if you tell me
"it's working there, but not there", sorry. :-(

Then, if you have code that works, why are you not using it? I'm sorry
if you are disappointed, but as always, I'd recommend that you, as
anybody else, should just use the system that works best for you.
