Hi,<br>
Having been with the linux product since the early-mid '90's I have learned what it is to have excellent software and as you point out mostly free (I have tried the non-free versions as well ) I have become used to the fact that you can have upgrades of code that do not mess up the "visual" snd sensible setting one has chosen.<br>
However this time around all my wallpaper setings to demarkate the several "screens" have been wpied and Kmail has gone to the dogs completely with out so much as a by your leave which is why I do not like the Redmond product and would certainly not buy it as it has continually displayed this kind of behaviour if that is harsh so be it.<br>
