Easiest solution might be to move your .kde/ to something like .kde.works/. Then try and log in. If that works try and recreate your envirornment from your old .kde/. What are the permissions on your .Xauthority file. They should be u+rw (chmod format). John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
