Hello all,

I did the same (double) error twice, with obviously the same result 
twice. The first time, I continue to use the system, which meant that I 
did not know where was the error.

The objective was to install Firefox 5.0.
  1 - I copied a directory /usr/local/firefox/ from a system used before
  2 - I tried to edit a firefox icon coming also from the other system,
  3 - I completely uninstalled firefox using Synaptic (that did not 
removed the ~/.mozilla/).
At the end of stage 2, TDE changed their behavior: the icon (firefox) 
disappeared from the office, and TDE "showed" the launch of an 
application (clicking on a desktop icon) by in the magnifying. I had 
initially inhibited this option (called "bouncing cursor", I think).

I do not know which of point two or three is causing the problem, but at 
the following reboot, TDE showed blue cursors and finally "Can not open 
theme file /opt/kde/share/apps/kdm/themes/kubuntu-kde3/ ". In the 
current working installation, there is no /opt/kde/ but /opt/kde3/. Once 
the session opened, there was no menu Start. (I am not ready to live 
without it!)

I am currently with a screen size of 1152x864 that comes out of a 
magician's hat (this is the very first time it appens with THIS 
format!), while after the last system restore (and associated wasted 
time), throw in usual 1280x1024. I have already indicated the unsolved 
problem of ATI drivers installation in another post.

Sincerly,
Patrick
