I just looked on his machine, which is running KDE version 3.4.2, and I can't
find that choice in his control center. Now I _do_ see it on a machine
I have here that is runnig KDE version 3.3.2. His machine machine is
FreebSD 4.11 STABLE, and the machine I happen to have KDE on is Debian.
Could it be in a different place on his?
