kilosim there08:43
superflyright, click on "Desktop Effects"08:45
superflyThen, there's a check box on the first page you see that says, "Enable desktop effects at startup" - untick it.08:45
kilosim there08:45
kilosah ty superfly 08:46
superflykilos: one other thing you can do - by default KDE likes you to click once to do things, and most folks are used to double-clicking, so we can switch it to double-click if you'd like08:47
