nothing was purposly broken...I broke it because I added kwin in when it didn't work. the x-session-manager piece is being worked out by the X guy..so if it happens it will be worked out. > I'm probably missing something because I haven't been on this list for long, > but this situation just seems counterintuitive.

The reason for this abrupt remove of it from x-window-manager. Ivan -- ---------------- Ivan E.
