I am compiling @kdepim-4.2 and it fails because it can't find KdepimLibs_CONFIG. I saw this before with nepomuk.

The simple way is to boot into a raw console, then 'startx' with your choice of ~/.xinitrc . I would never use a GUI login, it's just another thing to trip you up. -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT`-O--O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca

No the problem was that Ctrl-Alt-Backspace is not the same as restarting xdm. Doing that, I got the new login screen. -Robin --
