The compilation of kde has finally finished on my G4, and I've found a couple of 
things that might trip up some users.

Firstly, a Fink Commander thing (but I don't know where the problem is)...

In the info pane for bundle-kde and bundle-kde-ssl, there are instructions for setting 
KDE via modification of the .xinitrc file. These instructions are actually two 
commands although they appear as a single concatenated command line.

Secondly, a major problem with the .xinitrc instructions as they are given is that 
each user will attempt to write to the same log file. Once a user has run the startup 
once, only that user can then run KDE since other users are prevented from overwriting 
the log file. Can I suggest that the instructions be modified either to write to 
/dev/null, to remove the log file after succesful completion or to write to log files 
made user-unique by the inclusion of a ${USER} somewhere in the name.


Finally (and I suspect this to be a similar manifestation), I get errors grumbling 
about sound out when starting KDE up as any user other than my admin account. Where is 
KDE attempting to open a connection/file to and how should I fix it?

Later,

Andy
