was able to make it work by running the mkdir and cp commands by hand in kterm..
those 3 tiny buttons now have unclipped characters..

but something weird happening..

i had earlier followed some post here to change home from /tmp/root to /home/root

now running

Code:

echo $HOME

or

Code:

echo ~

still gives

Code:

/tmp/root

as the output..

but.. doing a

Code:

mntroot ro

or a

Code:

mntroot rw

is not affecting /tmp/root.. it's affecting /home/root..

so.. i did:

Code:

cp /mnt/us/extensions/galculator/.config/galculator/galculator.conf /home/root/.config/galculator/galculator.conf

which works.. but should i leave root fs in rw mode..

would like our experts' explanation for above behaviour..
