Put this line into it: FirstLogin=false so it doesn't go in ~/ but into ~/.kde3/share/config/ see ya! Damian -- Who is General Failure, and why is he reading my disk?

Re: [newbie] Sudden Logouts of KDE
well I think it happens after 5 minutes of logging in. It only happens when KDE is idle and when I am logged in the Virtual Terminal (ctrl alt f1). In KDE 2.2.2, after log outs, the xwin restarts but with KDE 3.0.2, after that log out, the Xwin crashes, when I execute startx, it prompts for no window to start or something like that, so I had no choice but to reboot my system. ok, then do this: go into /tmp, find any file or directory containing X11, qt, kde, mcop, ksock or mcop in their names and delete them all. the same in ~/tmp for all of your users. ( you will probably have to do this from outside X ) and then see if it happens again. Yes I upgraded (more like degrade) my KDE 2.2.2 to KDE 3.0.2. If in case I find several tmp dirs, which should I delete? its safe to delete either right, but i was just wondering for a more specific location all of them are safe, all necesary files in a tmp folder get re-created when they are needed. you can go into all tmp's and erase everything you see.
