    SUSE 9.1 by default uses submount, so if you open that directory (through the
    commandline or nautilus file browser) the disc will be mounted automatically
    if it is inserted.

    Ahh, you're using 800x600, are you? In KDE you can move windows around by
    holding down the Alt key while dragging the window. You might be able to
    move the whole Mozilla window if you can't move the pref. window alone.

    No sure what you mean by this.

    You *can* if you're really brave, but getting it to work properly will require
    some major coding on your side.

    That's merely an image file. I suspect if you read through the config files
    in your ~/.kde directory, you'll find something where you can change it.

    In earlier versions of SUSE, when I downloaded newer KDE builds (rpms for SUSE
    from kde.org), the menu icon got changed back to the K - this time it didn't,
    not sure why although I did download from SUSE's FTP server this time, but
    from what I've heard it's the same packages.
