Guess the KDE icon is 16x16, the Gnome one 32x32 then. Ben made those
icons, btw.

Hm. I guess that error happens if the Waste's Edge rpm is build with
Adonthell installed at a different location than deserved. Odd that
nobody discovered that bug.

Nope, the exe is called adonthell. Waste's Edge is only data (and that
little adonthell-wastesedge script). Still odd that it ran windowed mode
even though your config was setup for fullscreen.

Should have happened whatever way you start it. Is it still like that
when you start it via the menu?

Yeah, that's supposed to be there.


Thanks for testing. Not sure whether there's a way to inform Mandrake of
those issues. We ourselves can't influence how they build their
packages. If they screw up, we can't fix it. All we can do is file a bug
report ;).
