I did that before, Nepal, and when nothing seemed to change, I activated 
kwinrc my deleting the .old extension.  Just now I went back and 
repeated the process.  I just renamed the file to kwinrd.old.  I just 
don't know what to do next.  Nothing changed, I just have a page of 
configuration related files, I believe.

Do I reboot to see what happens?  Do I close Dolphin?  As I received 
your email, I was trying to get into

https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users to see if I 
could find your other response there; I forget the exact wording, but 
they said that address did not exist, more or less.  Anyway I did not 
find an archive of emails for the list, like I expected.  I am not 
trying to get any to work my problem for me; I go as far as I know.  I 
just am stumped.  After I send this reply, I will reboot and see what 
happens.  I don't know anything else to do.  Nonetheless, if I return 
and the problem is not resolved, do I delete 
/home/$USER/.kde/share/config?  Then do I have to reconfigure 
everything, email, Desktop settings, etc.?  Thanks!
