Cool potatoes! (Or do I mean cool woodies? Ahem.) It's definitely doable, and a good idea. You might get some hints from these files: http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~trmusson/tmp/ In particular, the ~/.gnome-env file, which is sourced from my ~/.bashrc to set my PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH (...the same sort of thing should work for your home-brewed KDE). Good luck with it :) Tim -- Timothy Musson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~trmusson/
