I'm pretty sure Firefox, Seamonkey and Epiphany are Gnome applications. I'm using KDE4.3 and that may be what is affecting Epiphany. -- Later, Darrell

I fixed Epiphany by changing vendor for one of the gtk libraries to the Red Dwarf repository. Now it just crashes when I look at the images on the patent site and nowhere else. The fix also allowed me to run some of the games that kept crashing. (They make a great introduction to Linux for my younger nieces, nephews, and friends' kids who come over. As for me, I rarely last 10 seconds in any action type game.] Now if only I could figure out a way to keep my modified keybindings for Pidgin in the /home/username/.kde4/share/config/gtkrc-2.0 file from being overwritten every time the X server restarts, I'll be getting back to the way my smooth running opensuse 10.3 setup worked. -- Later, Darrell

Firefox/Seamonkey are all cross-platform. I even used the OS/2 versions of these applications. I don't see why they shouldn't work on KDE. I run GNOME, but did try out KDE, it ran like glue on my machine(PIII). |
