Man I wish I could offer more than 'try this'. I do not like 'try this'
advice. Never have. But I did not/do not have this situation. I've never
seen this. Nor Have I heard anyone else mention anything such as this.
A test. Well okay - a 'try this' suggestion. :-) Don't install K3b on the
next machine. Nothing KDE. And see if this 'follow the desktop' thing still
happens. The KDE stuff can be added later.
I suggest this test because I don't have anything KDE installed and, as I
said, I did not/did not see this. Just a thought. Might be a bug or an
interaction.
This has happened on all three installs right 'out of the box' No KDE
components installed. At least that I know of.
One 'customization' is I deselected Office Apps at the install, knowing
that they have been updated, so I would add them AFTER the install via
yumex. Otherwise with perhaps some disk druid customizations (and then
NOT on one install) this is FC10 out-of-the-box.
