KDE 3.0.3 - Unable to lock screen

[Brian T. Schellenberger]

Surely you could do this in a less extreme fashion by just renaming your 
.kde to .kde.old, starting KDE to re-create it, and then exiting KDE 
and copying the files you need.

| Last attempt at fixing it.  You say it works fine in a root KDE but
| not in a user.  When I had a problem with the user window on initial
| install, I logged on as root, added a fake user so I could delete the
| old one (but kept the files).  I went to the original /home/[USER]
| directory and renamed it  ("mv /home[USER] /home/[USER.old]" and

|
| Logging back in as user, I copied the documents, bookmarks,
| addressbook and a few .kdelink files to the proper places in the
| "renewed user" and then removed "rm -r /home/[USER.old]" (BE
| CAREFULL!!!) the old version.  It corrected the problem.  It appears

|
| You might try that.  It takes about half an hour.
