Dude, why should my .bashrc affect KDM spawning a KDE session for me? If things don't appear as they should in a non-critical path, the app must fall back to system defaults. I will investigate this a little more and look at the KDM sources to figure out if this is a bug with KDM or a bug in my KDM setup. BTW, the "buggy" line in my .bashrc was this: set savehist=100 If I set this line, then KDM won't log me in. It I comment this line out KDM will let me log in. ./h -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
