[If this gets posted twice, I apologize for the noise]
I've been battling this on and off (mostly off) since April. If I put exec startkde in .xesession in a non-root folder and I enable xdm in /etc/ttys, I can log into xorg's xdm and kde starts just fine -- even as a non-root user. If I enable kdm in /etc/ttys, I get the kdm login screen, and if I login with a non-root account, the display just stays at it's default background until I kill it with CNTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE. At the kdm login screen, if I login as root, the kde desktop loads and starts just fine. I've read and implemented the commands in /usr/src/UPDATING regarding kde/kdm and I'm running the latest kde-everything as of a few hours ago. I do like Xorg's xdm, but I do like kdm/KDE better, but, apparently, kdm/kde doesn't like me at all. The box I'm currently testing this on is i386 FreeBSD-Current as of 8/7/2004, but I've also had this difficulty on 4.9/4.10 -STABLE installs at work. Any advice on wht I'm doing wrong (or a pointer to docs so I can RTFM) would be greatly appreciated.
