Strange, fortunately never had that with TkDesk 1.2 on potato. Well you should be able to force TkDesk to use a certain configuration. man tkdesk says: OPTIONS -configdir dir By default TkDesk reads its configuration either from the files contained in the directory "~/.tkdesk" (see section FILES below), or if it does not exist, from TkDesk's library directory (usually "/usr/local/lib/TkDesk"). This options lets TkDesk load its configuration files from directory dir. Also notice: -default Let TkDesk read its configuration from its library directory. This means that TkDesk will start using the default configuration. Andre -- Andre Berger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> from Bonn, Germany No computer was harmed during the making of this message.
