Thanks, yeah I used that to install within the /opt/ directory, just wonder
how to install to where mandrake placed it but from reading somewhere else
it appears that mandrake adds more stuff within kde so harder for me to
update :(.

Thanks for the link, very interesting read and also helpful hits.  I missed
off the DICTIONARY for the ISpell setting and also the kghostviewpartview.la
was not working, but after re-compiling the kghostview it appears to have
solved that now, must have been a bad compile from me.  Shall have to read
into the xinit etc.

Thanks again, and KDE is a great WM.

Cheers
