Hello! I am running Mathematica 4.1 under Suse Linux 9.2 and there are strange effects: Starting any Windowmanager (i.e fvwm or kde) the regular way (with startx) and callin Mathematica, Mathematica starts ... but any inputformular is disabled, for example the input of keywords in the help, or the input of filenames to save. In short Mathematica is useless. Starting the X-Window with xinit, then starting the windowmanager "fvwm" or "twm", then running mathematica and it works. The above procedure with Windowmanager "kde" fails. (For the ones thinking of a deja vue: I posted this on 2004-01-31 for Suse 9.0, and no one answered. maybe in the mean time there are some ideas?) greetings Detlef
