Guest jacobsjo Posted October 31, 2002 Report Share Posted October 31, 2002 Hello all, :!: I recently upgraded to Mandrake 9.0 from 8.2 and also upgraded my window manager to KDE 3.0.3. I love it. It's great! After doing the appropriate package updates, it's even better. Here's my problem though: I no longer have the ability to resize windows, move windows, drag 'n drop icons, slide scroll bars, or "sub" menus. It's REALLY frustrating. The only way for me to do it is by "right clicking" on the title bar and choosing "MOVE". Before (with KDE 2.x) I was able to simple grab the window title bar and drag to my hearts content. Scroll bars move only by click-click-clicking... no more sliding. Errr! Well, this is my first post to this board, but I didn't know where else to post to. Hope I get some help/replies... Anyone else expereienced this?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystified Posted October 31, 2002 Report Share Posted October 31, 2002 Have you tried upgrading to 3.0.4? It has some bug fixes that might or might not solve your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jacobsjo Posted October 31, 2002 Report Share Posted October 31, 2002 No... 3.0.4 is still cooker I believe, and since my Mandrake box is also my production server... I am very cautious about using cooker packages. I did a "urpmi kde" just to be safe and everything is current. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystified Posted October 31, 2002 Report Share Posted October 31, 2002 Actually I did a check on the kde.org page and 3.0.4 is listed as stable. Just thought you should know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jacobsjo Posted October 31, 2002 Report Share Posted October 31, 2002 Great. I'll check it out. Do you happen to know of anywhere else I could look [e.g. other boards] for info on this problem? In the meantime, I've switched to IceWM until I can figure out the problem. I still use all the KDE apps [Konq., kate, etc.] and everything seem to work fine.

Guest jacobsjo Posted October 31, 2002 Report Share Posted October 31, 2002 IT"S FIXED!!!1 :D :D :D :D I don't know how, or why, but after using IceWM for a session or two, I fired up KDE and all the window problem are gone. Everything is back to normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
