[CS-FSLUG] Re: Firefox sound problem!?!

[timbrown at ichristian.com]

Funny you would ask. I just got done a few minutes ago playing around in 
Gnome. It works there, so it appears to be a KDE thing.

Another problem with KDE; my screensaver doesn't stay on. For example, if I 
set it for a 1 minute delay, it pops on in one minute, goes off in one 
minute, comes back on in 1, then off , etc. 

Drives  me nuts.  YUCK. 

Xscreensaver is fine. 

So, if I go to Gnome, everything is fine. 

I'm thinking of removing all KDE packages then reinstalling them. Kind of a  
Microsoftish solution, huh? 

Thanks for your help, 

Tim
