I installed redhat 5.2, then later added KDE from another distribution.
(redhat didn't have KDE) Everything has been working OK except when I
logout of KDE the bash shell lists errors about the wrong character set
and sometimes about not being able to run "maudio".

My fonts look OK in KDE. In Applixware I have no problems with fonts.
So I'm just curious about what character set is wrong and how to correct
it.

The "maudio" message usually occurs after I've been playing the
asteroids clone in KDE. Does anyone hear sound when playing asteroids?

I have to wrestle with that every time I reinstall Mandrake 6.1. I go to
the KDE Control Center and play with International keyboard (invoke it,
then quit from taskbar), Desktop Fonts (click each and click Default
button) and Language. Eventually I get the right combo and Wrong
KCharset message goes away. One of these days I going to stumble on the
right sequence so the process is not so hit and miss.

Hey Ray, you been using my computer again? I get exactly the same error
messages when I log out of KDE! I'm using Redhat 6.0. Kinda drives me
nuts. I have no solution either, just thought I'd throw my 2c worth in. If
I hear of a fix I'll be sure to let you know.

I believe the KDE docs will tell you not to worry about that message. I used
to see it all the time when I ran Kedit under Icewm. Now that I've installed
True Type font support (RH 6.1), I don't see it any more. I don't know if
there's a connection, though.

Go to http://www.kde.org/

They have an FAQ there about this.
Thanks
Bye

On the KDE web site under the FAQ's (previously mentioned) they state
something to the effect that it's a minor bug that they're aware of, but it
causes no known problems. They DO tell you how to 'fix' it.

Thanks. I believe I've been there and they point to the single fix of
making sure the Desktop > Language settings are set to the same thing.
In my experience this eliminates a long string of them, but I've always
had to fiddle further with Desktop > Fonts and Desktop > Input Devices >
International Keyboard in KDE Control Center to totally eradicate them
(there always seems to be one left).
