I opened Krfb Desktop Sharing once just to take a look at it and now I get
invitation forms every time I boot -- one more each time I reboot. I'm up
to 3 now. Any idea how to turn this "feature" off?

Apparently pwmanager has been dropped from Karmic Koala. All I could find
was a source tarball, but it won't make because kde-config is missing. I
suspect that it is obsolete also. I have all my passwords stored in
pwmanager. Any suggestions how to recover them?

As the upgrade completed, I think I saw a message flash by about a Plasma
crash. In any case, the login screen appears, but when I try to log in, the
background appears, the desktop tries to draw the desktop folder, and then
it all disappears. I get the X cursor and then I am back at KDM. In short,
it is not possible to log in. I did a clean install on a spare disk and
copied over the .kde hierarchy so that I could at least run Knode to send
this message. After googling, I conclude that no one else has experienced
the same problem with the upgrade.

Is anyone using KVM on Kubuntu 9.04? The preferred installation for KVM
includes virt-manager and virt-viewer, which are apparently GTK
applications. I was planning to run Ubuntu in a VM using KVM in part to
keep my Kubuntu machine free of GTK components. Should I not care about
the pollution of Kubuntu? Are there better options for running a VM on
KDE?

In KDE4, KNode is no longer in Kontact. Is there a way to view news as
feeds? I presume that the "demotion" of KNode reflects waning utility.
So what are we supposed to be using?

When I print a color image (KDE 3.5.10, Kubuntu 8.10) using Gwenview or
KolourPaint, the colors are wrong. The printed image looks yellowish and
grainy. The test page that I get from CUPS looks fine. If I print the
image from Windows to the same printer, it looks fine (even though I'm
going through Samba). Any idea what might be wrong?

Ever since I was forced to do a hot reset, Kmail has been complaining that
it cannot connect to host localhost. I don't have an account for
localhost, so I'm not sure what it's referring to. I do have a localhost
entry in /etc/hosts, but somehow I don't think that's what it's referring
to. I grepped in .kde/share/apps/kmail. Nothing there. Any ideas?
