OK. This corrects at least part of the problem with KDM. Another problem with kcontrol: I cannot enable a password-less login (home machine).
I don't think the preferences menu show up on the Kmenu unless you have used it before ? It is not showing up on the root account. Of all accounts, root should be able to run kcontrol. I sure hope xmms gets fixed sooner rather than later. thanks for the info. On Sat, 2004-02-21 at 17:43, James Stark wrote: > > 1) kdm does not work.
