["Uwe E. Bilger" <uwelists u-b de>]

Hi Terry,

thanks for the info. I found a solution: KDE.

Probably not the answer this list wanted to hear, but that's how
things are.

I remember tackling this problem already a year ago, and I cannot
believe nothing moved on this topic. Granted, I could have worked
myself more into the topic. But everything I saw so far points to a
serious design problem with major work involved to get it fixed.

Uwe
