[expert] KDE GONE -- as user, NOT as root!
Dear friends: Forgot to mention a key point: When I su to root, I have no problem getting into KDE, and KDE works perfectly as root. It's only as user (sher) that it doesn't work. Benjamin -- Benjamin and Anna Sher [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net
