Sometimes things go bad, for example if you had to press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to restart the X, some services can misbehave after you log in anew. If KDE apps point messages at you saying "cannot talk to klauncher", and system tray icons appear in windows, instead of appearing on the system tray, then instead of rebooting or reinstalling Linux (as some may suggest) simple type in a console:

$ dcopserver_shutdown

$ kdeinit

Tha's all.

I'd like English. It is the language of IT like Latin is the language of medicine. I like to see all messages pointed to me on my own screen appear in English. Although I'd live in Europe, so my week begins on Monday and I use the units of the metric system.
Because of this I need to install Ubuntu with English (US) settings and manually edit /etc/environment afterwards. After applying the following settings, even the not-so-well customizable Gnome clock and calendar displays the date and time in the format I wanted.
