Re: [Cooker] trying to log in X/KDE/etc
Well, negative on the x init scripts. re-installed all the rpm's for X including the xinit.rpm. I can log into root kde/gnome as root. And it will start the Enlightnement as user, but will not start kde/gnome/failsafe by startx/kdm as user. It will simply "kick back" to kdm/xdm. Get allot of "AUDIT" errors in the xdm-error log concerning user trying to login and localclient not being able to log in (to the respective desktop). weird. i'm ready to just re-install. would be easier that trying to track this at my end.

Re: [Cooker] trying to log in X/KDE/etc
Usually permission problems or bad startup scripts cause this. FWIW.
