I have a problem with starting KDE as root. #1: startkde reports some errors like Unable to connect to X-Server #2: but Writing KDE into /etc/sysconfig/desktop starts KDe when I type startx at the prompt. To automate this I Wrote a Shell Script (and placed it in /etc/profile.d) to Ask the user whether he wants to use GNOME or KDE. This script writes into the /etc/sysconfig/desktop file starts seither KDE or GNOME based on what the user selects. It all works well as long as the user is not root. But for root irrespective of what I select only GNOME starts. Is it that root can start only GNOME or is there any other fix for this? -suraj __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
