In one of the configuration screens you can set it to automatically log a user in when it is first started. You can do the same with KDM, tick the auto-login box in the KDE Control Centre. You can start the program from ~/.kde/Autostart, or leave it running when you log out and the default KDE behaviour is to restart it when you log back in. -- Neil Bothwick Top Oxymorons Number 7: Definite maybe signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Can Anyone help rob [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you only want one X program running, and therefore do not need a window manager etc, then run startx from /etc/init.d/local that script is run by root so you will want to use su to switch to the user you want to run as and then run startx, something like su - username startx forget all that autologin with kdm bollocks, it is not needed if you have described your problem accurately (ie you want to run one program only) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
