I would tend to think that you still have either a theme-able console login or the theme is taking over - you can disable that in MCC = Boot Tried that. Didn't do me a lick of good. When I rebooted, the options display theme under console and use graphical boot were reenabled. I did notice that I got an error message about rxvt not being able to display UTF-8. I have Icewm set as the default desktop in /etc/sysconfig/desktop and have rxvt set as the terminal application in the toolbar, so I went to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icewm and changed the entry from rxvt to konsole. For whatever reason, this worked. I don't see why it would, or why Linux would care what terminal I have in the toolbar. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
