Hi John, I had the same problem with debian, but i'm using kdm and kde. course the sysprofile hasn't woked i directly placed export LD_PRELOAD ... in the kde startup script. I had to place it in the kde startup script, and not into the kdm script, where it starts kde, cause it seems that kde starts an own environment.
