Well rats!  :-)

Okay -- I can handle that.  Is there documentation on the mailing list 
about the best way to get kde-windows up and running (yes or no is a 
good answer -- I can do the search if I know it's there)?  I can do this 
the long way (yes, that's how much I want it :-) 

Thanks for the prompt reply!!  Greatly appreciated.

Regards.
