I'm writing first to preempt some questions. I missed this on first reading of the changelog, when upgrading you must install cairo-1.0.2-i486-1.tgz, it's needed for gtk2 and all apps that use gtk2 (mozilla, firefox, gkrellm, etc.)

After upgrading to kde-3.5.1 there seems to be some probs with artsdsp. When running firefox is use the command to enable sound on webpages (for flash, etc.). However when trying to use this I get the following error:
Has anyone else encountered this?

Here is a fix I found here, you must make .asoundrc executable, which I didn't do on first try.

Thanks for the heads up!

Here's another thing that puzzles me. I still prefer tcsh over bash, and when running konsole, it's treated not as a login shell, but as a normal shell. Thus /etc/csh.login isn't run, and in turn, that's the one responsible for setting LS_OPTIONS and all the other nice environment variables from /etc/profile.d - so - my question is:

Why not move the section in /etc/csh.login that loads the /etc/profile.d/ scripts over to a new /etc/csh.cshrc to ensure they get included on every instance of the shell?

Is this an omission in Slackware, or am I missing something obvious?

haven't used KDE for a loooong time---but I recall there's an option and/or commandline switch that opens Konsole as a login shell. Then it will run just like any other login shell.

"firefox" is a script that calls the "run-mozilla.sh" script which, in turn (finally) runs the "firefox-bin" binary.
