I think it's configured in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc - something like ServerArgs or ServerCmd. That's from memory, though (not running kdm/KDE here). In case that should be wrong, try "grep -r -e -br /etc/kde3" to locate other likely candidates... Cheers, Almut -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
