Hi Christian,
thanks for your hints. I still have the old problem, but I realized at the weekend, that they only exist, if I use the KDE Desktop via XDMCP and an X-Server (VcXsrv / Xming) running on XP. I'm not sure whether it's a KDE or XOrg related problem or a problem of the X-Server... If I login directly, everything works fine.

Any hints?

>> I have a problem to get my KDE4 Terminal working. I use a German keyboard, and I am not able to use some special keys. Especially I miss the pipe symbol ('|'), but there are some more like '?', '@', '?'. I compiled KDE on my own computer running a FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE kernel. All packages are up to date. Any hints? If I use an SSH connection (PuTTY), everything is fine.
