[Nottingham] KDE weirdness

[James Green]

> df -h shows that there is plenty of space.

I had a fun one at work this week... bunch of report generation perl
scripts, unable to create writeable file handles in /tmp, but /tmp only 10%
full. The problem became obvious when I ran "df -i" instead of "df -h"...

It feels like this isn't that, though.

This august forum might have some ideas, but maybe it's worth scouring the
debian mailing lists too? If it's an update related thing, someone else is
bound to have hit it.

Good luck,

James
