Well, I tried messing with the TMPDIR (and KDETMPDIR), no effect. * Comic-strip will install new comics, and they'll say installed in the GHNS (get hot new stuff, the kde extension that integrates kdelook for downloading kde user supplied whatever) applet, and I can even close it and plasma and restart and it'll still say installed, but the new comics won't show up in the display list! TMPDIR settings don't seem to matter. * LCD-weather seems to work here, I tried Tupelo, MS, from a few different providers, and a few other random sites, no problem. Again, TMPDIR settings don't seem to matter. So, it doesn't seem that the TMPDIR settings matter for either of us, but FWIW, LCD-weather DOES seem to work here, just as yawp does. Stranger and stranger! For my comic-strip problem, I guess the next thing to do here is take my own advice, and see if a clean user config has the comic-strip problems I'm seeing with my normal user... -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
