True - I don't use the KDE desktop. I like the default Ubuntu desktop.

I installed a couple of KDE pgms BEFORE I did the complete desktop
install. At that point, they did NOT cause the problems I am seeing
now. It looks like it was the desktop install that caused problems.

Also, I have been using these pgms in 12.04 for a long time with no
issues.

That's what I have been doing, but the *Ubuntu website* suggested
doing a desktop install if you were going to use multiple KDE pgms.
They emphasized how nice it is to switch back and forth and was
describing it in glowing terms - sounded good. I mistakenly followed
their advice. :-)

They are not bad at all with the default Ubuntu install *before* the
full desktop install.

Agreed. How can I fix this?

Thanks much for the inputs...
