If using kdm don't use *default*..use kde2...if using startx change /usr/bin/kwm to run /usr/bin/kde2 instead of /usr/bin/kwin. As I stated at least once before... x-window-manager is for window managers and not session managers.../usr/bin/kde2 acts as a window manager (setting up kicker and all of the other pieces that make up KDE)...thus by Debian policy cannot be x-window-manager. The proper fix for this is for a x-session-manager to be setup...this has been taken to the X guy as that is where it has to be implemented. However to have /usr/bin/kde2 set as a x-window-manager alternative is a BUG as it can break things. Ivan -- ---------------- Ivan E.
