No, startkde still canonical way to launch KDE (whether in .xinitrc or otherwise). I'm not even sure what 'kdeinitrc' is, I surely don't have one. > (c) If ~/.xinitrc file is created then, after killing X, any subsequent > attempt to startx from consol fails. Not sure why that's happening, works for me. Might be an issue with X and your graphics hardware. > 2.

How to do that is out of the scope of this mailing list, but there's lots of information available on that subject on the net, look for keywords xorg, xfree86, dualhead, multihead and xinerama. > 3.

Control Center/Appearance & Themes/Colors (Widget Types: Active/Inactive Title Bar, Active/Inactive Title Text). It's not possible to override window titles. > 4.

You can configure the Taskbar kicker applet to show a window list button, see http://people.fruitsalad.org/lofi/stuff/taskbar-list.png -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | [EMAIL PROTECTED] (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org
