the problem is to do with KDE being buggy - not mandriva.

thats bull**** as KDE works fine on debian and many other distro's, and they don't have to patch it. mandriva choose to add things themselves, well, thats fine, but if it makes stuff unstable, they should test and fix it. they didn't do that, i guess...

i didn't say kde on all distros is buggy. i just said that kde on mandriva is buggy. if you try gnome in mandriva, you will find that its stable, unlike kde.

Aha, and thats why the mandriva tools are (partly) freezing??? KDE is 3.4.3 the latest bugfix release. Neither the drakconf tools nor the netapplet are KDE apps ... I had no problem using the same version of KDE on two other distros. This is essentially why I wrote the original post. If it would be a KDE problem it would have been off topic ...
