I'm happy that it works for you, and since our computers are very
similar, one would think it (KDE 2) wourld work for me as well. But something
is badly wrong. I can click on a button in, say, the new e-mail program, and 
nothing happens for so long that I usually assume it has crashed, and kill the
program.

Sometimes an error message will pop up, but so much time will have passed that I
have forgotten what i did to cause the error in the first place. It's really
hard to accomplish anything that way.
