In theory if an app needs a dot file (~/.*) then if it doesn’t find it it makes one with 'sensible' initial values and/or asks the user for the necessary values. Often after an upgrade the old dot files are incompatible with the new version and blow up the new version cos whomever made the new version was too lazy/forgot to write a simple upgrade for it. If you find deleting the dot file solves the problems report the dot file incompatibility as a bug.Brad Rogers wrote:I do indeed have a .dbus folder.

Why is it OK to look at the items via a file manager but not via the widget?I've never suffered that here, but I found several references for this. All refer to KDE3 and dcop, however. KDE4 doesn't use dcop, but dbus, so try; rm -rf ~/.dbus*Thanks Neil
