No wonder I'd never seen that setting before. Shouldn't that be under System rather than Hardware? I feel kinda sheepish now because I've been blaming the KDE guys for the lousy login manager in Mandrake 9.1... thought they'd tried to tart up kdm for some reason, never understood why when I changed my kdm settings in KDE Control Center the changes never seemed to take. I've had about 10 users ask me why they couldn't just type their username anymore, but instead have to scroll through the list of ~130 NIS users and then click... at least once a day in the data processing room you hear "(typetypetype)... ARRGH". Now at least I know how to fix it, but shame that I'll have to do it on all the 9.1 boxes I've already deployed and there's no apparent way to set up a package selection floppy to make it use kdm so I'll have to manually change it on all the new boxes going forward. Now I just have to figure out how to put that into a bug report. Rob
