Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] VL6.0-SOHO-A1.24

Hello Masta,

Thanks again for you help. Once I explicitly selected a user icon they worked, at
least the user icon worked - no root icon.

I tried to duplicate the issue relating to changing themes and cannot. Perhaps it
was just a fluke, or something in KDE 4.3.0, or a combination of various things.
Regardless, it's working as expected now!

Also, I had reported that sound was not working in my previous 1.24 install
attempt. For whatever reason, it's working this time just like it always had. I
don't put a ton of faith in the virtual testing scenario due to the obvious
reasons - it's not real hardware. So when something like this happens (ie. it
doesn't work but next time it does) I just assume it's a virtual-bug :D

Thanks again!

Cheers, newt
