I'm running Red Hat 9 on the laptop. When I log in to the Gnome user interface the desktop image is centered in the middle of the glass just as I would expect. 1024x768, 70Hz refresh rate. When I log in to the KDE user interface the desktop image appears to originate from the top left corner. A few pixels of the left side and the top get squeezed out of view. In SuSE I used Sax to center the image but it mostly just crashed the computer. Red Hat Gnome appears to have got it right but I can't find where in KDE to center the desktop in the CRT glass. Can anyone provide assistance? codegomer
