Well, the last time I tried KDE on my home development machine (Fedora Core 6), McIDAS ran with no errors, but there was some sort of a leak that would result in huge memory usage if McIDAS is left running for 2-3 days. I have not tried KDE lately, however, so the situation might have changed (but I wouldn't bet on it). > Do you recommend another desktop environment?

This sounds very good. > Thanks again, sorry for being a pain. Absolutely not a problem. Talk to you tomorrow...
