i can't get gaim and firefox 1.5.1 working. they work perfectly when i'm logged in as root but not as regular user. they worked before as a regular user and now they don't although i didn't change anything regarding permissions (or at least i don't remember to)

I think that you have a problem with GTK apps under KDE. Right? . This si what you need : http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/suse/9.3/i386/suse/i586/gtk-qt-engine-0.6cvs20050229-4.i586.html

not sure what package management your using (yast apt etc) try copying your personal info to a temp folder and do a purge of the install (not just a remove but a purge (clears everything)) then reinstall and reimport if that dosnt work do a ls -lisa on the executables and see what they say

And one more hint when you download gkt-qt: in console type : rpm -Uvh gtk-qt-engine-0.6cvs20050229-4.i586.rpm because you should already have installed gtk-qt-engine See ya

thanx guys. it was the liquid theme (indeed something with gtk).
Had the same problem due to a problem with permissions in my ~/.mozilla directory. Changed all owner of all the files to myself and it fixed the problem.
