[gentoo-user] Instaling KDE 4.2, second attempt...
My first attempt at installing KDE 4.2 so trashed my desktop I had to perform a general restore to remove all traces of it. I have a completely current 3.5.10 system running, so I thought I would get a situation where I could choose which system to login to. In fact, on my second attempt, I get my original KDM 3.5 login screen and no new options and when I login I do get my original desktop environment, albeit with corrupt konqueror tool bars. Any ideas how to enable KDM 4.2 and get the new desktop? TIA -Robin --

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

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

I am compiling @kdepim-4.2 and it fails because it can't find KdepimLibs_CONFIG. I saw this before with nepomuk. Searching seems to imply you need cmake-2.6.2 (I have 2.6.2-r1), so shouldn't everyone hit it?
