[ILUG] KDE and Exceed + OSS

[sdempsey]

Hi Niall ,

I am guessing that exceed is some sort of xserver for windoze machines.
The last time that I expereinced something like this it was because 
the win-xserver ( xwinPro in my case ) ran its own window manager 
and kwm failed to start . KDE checks for a window manager and doesn't
run the 
bottom of screen window manager if another one is present . I remedied
this by
running xwinpro in full screen mode . I dont' know whether this will
work for exceed but you might be able to find a suitable option to
enable it to run
kwm. 

I am updating my kernel and some libs in a few hours . Anybody know if
the
new kernel will cause oss to screw up or not. It claims that it won't
but I need the SMP edition and it has always been a bit troublesome. 

Any comments / advice are welcome ...

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of APL, I shall
fear no evil, for I can string six primitive monadic and dyadic
operators together.		-- Steve Higgins
