After you logout ctl-alt-f1 and log in as root. ~#ps -A |grep kde ~#killall of what you got ~#/etc/init.d/kdm restart I've found that there was something always left hanging around and that even after I killed it I couldn't get back in unless I restarted kdm. The other symptom that I've found the same thing fixes is when file_save_as in kde programs isn't working any more or you get a message saying klauncher can't be reached by dcop. -- Earl F Hampton http://hamiii.sytes.net/index.phtml ------------------------------------------------------- -- Earl F Hampton http://hamiii.sytes.net/index.phtml
