What's up with Konsole? I cannot use vi in a konsole window with it trashing the display of konsole from that point on. Also, the file I am editing does not fill up the entire Konsole screen. I have already read about and have found out myself that you cannot resize the konsole window with locking up the computer. Are there any workarounds for these issues?

Re: Natty and Konsole
You'll need to supply us with more information, specifically, what video card and driver are you using? Konsole here in my Natty (32-bit, Intel Integrated Graphics) works as one would expect. I can resize it all I want. No problems.Windows no longer obstructs my view.
Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

Re: Natty and Konsole
Thanks for the reply. Find additional information, which comes from Kinfocenter, below:
3D Accelerator: unknown
Driver:
Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
Renderer: Quadro NVS 160m/PCI/SSE2
Kernel module: unknown
From the Additional Drivers dialog there are two drivers listed:
NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173)
NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current) [Recommended]
The last is selected; however, There is a note at the bottom of the dialog that states:
This driver is activated but not currently in use.
What does that mean?
TIA

Re: Natty and Konsole
At least the crash when resizing is confirmed at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...rs/+bug/760632 . There is a bug in the NVidia proprietary driver that makes konsole crash when you resize the window.
From the same place I found a temporary fix that is not that bad. Invoking konsole with the --notransparency command line argument, at least for me, avoids crashes when resizing the window.
Shame on you, NVidia, for letting the update with the fix sleep for more than five weeks.

Re: Natty and Konsole
I've discovered that, at least in my machine, trying to change desktop appearance also cold crashes the machine if you've desktop effects enabled.
My recommendation now is to completely switch off desktop effects or switch to the noveau driver.
