Anyway I suggest you install the KDE login manager kdm, which lets you select which WM/DE you want to log into. There are also other ways, like creating your own ~/.xsession and adding startkde (make sure that allow-user-xsession is in your /etc/X11/Xsession.options), or telling startx which command to run. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 ICQ #17079270 Registered Linux User #267976 http://www.andreas-janssen.de/debian-tipps-sarge.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
