 log on a user to KDE.  Perhaps you could tweak that script (if it exists or
 what its name is if it does exist I have no clue!).  Try lurking around the
 KDE mailing lists maybe there's someone over there who know how to help.

Hi. U guys aren't talking about /etc/skel, are you? Thats a generic setup for
new users, AFAIK.

In the meantime, don't go changing any scirpt until you positively know what 
to do!

i seem to remember there was an autostart menu in kde 2.1 ..anything u threw
in there would start automatically on the next login
i would like to put kmix in there if i knew how

on a futher note .. my sound seems to come and go ... it seems obvious that
a program is using it but kguard doesnt list any processes that might be
using it.. any hacks to reawake sound when needed?

2001-09-12 Thread Lanman

I had the same menu problem in Beta 1, but Beta 2 was fine. Hmmm, maybe it's 
not us, maybe it's that Raklet Cheese the MandrakeSoft guys keep eating?? 
Nah, couldn't be. But I found that most things ran a tad faster in Beta2.
