Files, config, and welcome (again)

[Djuro Drljaca]

Hello,


as far as I know it is very important to know where you tested it. If you
only tested it in the plasmoidveiwer then this is probably the reason it
doesn't work. Install the plasmoid on the system and try it there ... then
I think it probably will work.


Regards,

Djuro Drljaca
