Miscellaneous Linux problems

["B Seiwarski" <nospam [at] hotmail.com>]

Here be a few queries some of you helpful souls might be able to assist me 
with:

1. I use SuSE 6.3.  Whilst creating new users is fairly straightforward, 
does anyone know why KDE doesn't transfer across desktop settings (or video 
mode settings, whatever) when creating new users, and therefore how to 
change video mode configuration things so that KDE starts in the correct 
video mode every time? (at the moment, I have to press CTRL+ALT+MINUS or 
CTRL+ALT+PLUS every time it loads up)

2. Does anyone know where the options file for Sokoban hangs out?  See, I'm 
trying to copy this from one user profile to another so that I can play 
Sokoban on a different log-in with the same level settings and stuff.  Any 
ideas?  Ditto for modem ISP settings, but this is easy to replicate.

3. The text editor supplied with SuSE 6.3 is not brilliant and so I'm 
looking for a better one.  I think I've found one on the Internet, but does 
anyone have any opinions/recommendations for a decent text editor?

4. Graphical, WYSIWYG-style HTML editors - any ideas?  Although I can use a 
text editor to create tables in HTML and Netscape to view them, it's hardly 
ideal.

5. I've got this weird 'Windows optimised multimedia' keyboard (it's even 
got a built in microphone) that works fine with Linux, but has loads of 
buttons that just don't do anything.  Any ideas on how I can configure all 
these buttons, so that, for example, I can pop up the K application menu 
thing?

6. My CD-player hasn't managed to auto-detect the album/track titles for any 
CD's whilst I've been on the Internet (it's the standard CD player supplied 
with SuSE 6.3).  What am I doing wrong?  Oh, and will my machine ever be 
able to read Apple Mac compatible CD's or will I need a special CD player 
for that?

7. There might have been two questions contained in that last point, so I'm 
making up by having another point, here, that has no question in it.

As ever, any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
