Wallpaper moves up and down
Using Mandriva LE 2005 with KDE as as supplied. I can drag the wallpaper up or down several cm (except now. I think that it may have something to do with the image.) This was a small problem with 9.2, but seems to be a lot worse. Is there a cure? Is LE 2005 a beta release? I know that it was a bit of a pre... 2 Sep 2005 14:47
