> Why not just startx? Good point! Thank you! This works for me as root user and unprivileged user. 1) cat .xinitrc exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session startkde and then 2) export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/opt/kde/share:/usr/share 3) startx 4) works for me! The /usr/share addition was they key for startx/.xinitrc to do the job. Without /usr/share, startx fail to tart kde propery and I get the original error. The KDE Pre-installation Configuration only set XDG_DATA_DIRS=/opt/kde/share http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/kde/pre-install-config.html > terminal (e.g. konsole) I have not yet compiled konsole :-) I will do that. KDM still misbehave, as before. I need to dig into kdmrc. It does not seem to be configured correctly after building the kde packages. Is that /opt/kde/share/config/kdm/kdmrc?
