Just wondering as when I wrote the PHP code to set the cookie I have tested it 
with Konquer 3.1 and it seemed to work correctly. I must admit that I have 
little experience with cookies.

The bit of PHP code that is used is:

setcookie('locale', $site_locale, time()+31536000, '/', '.kde.org');

I wonder if changing the last parameter to the function to 'kde.org' would 
help....

Thanks very much for the reply.
