Hi > If you learn more about this issue please let me know. > > I don't when to process at reinstallation of woody from scratch for that. I still do not have any idea what caused this behaviour. What I finnaly did, was completly deinstallating kde by something like "dpkg -l | grep -i kde" and "dpkg --purge" and afterwards re- installing it from testing. Now everything works fine again. Hope that helps, Horst
