Gentoo desktop question
Hi, i just installed gentoo 2006.0. After i put my username and password in i type startx and get 2 localhost menus and one xterm. On one of the localhosts i type startkde. Once kde loads i get a screen that looks like this:http://running12345.tripod.com/computer/ In gentoo is it normal to have thoses green taskbars at the top in this case which says kde desktop and kicker as labeled in the picture. There is no X on the top right hand corner of the screen is that normal as well? Hope to here from you guys soon. THanks

Actually the print screen key doesn't do much by default in *nix.
To take a real screenshot you can use a Graphics Package like Gimp or from a command line you can use xpm (If I remember correctly... I'm a little out of it right now
)
Anyways, to answer your question no, kicker should never be displayed with a title bar. Is this consistent?
Try:
killall kicker
kicker&
If that doesn't fix it there are some window-specific settings under KDE for removing borders etc for given apps. If you're needing to tinker without before you even did anything to break it I'd suggest just:
emerge -C kde
emerge --sync
emerge kde
Good luck

I've never used 2006.0 yet. I've used 2005.0 and 2005.1 without any trouble. If you ran `emerge sync' before compiling KDE I've not heard of any issues with the latest build.Cheeseboy wrote:nope none of thoses commands removed the green bars.I am using the 2006.0 gui installer you think i should use the old one? the command netconfig wont even work....
Did you try unmerging an emerging again? Also delete /usr/portage/distfiles/kde* for good measure
Netconfig? What's this for? Try ifconfig.
