I dont use kde but a quick search on google reveals that this may work in your case:- exec startkde Google is definately your friend for this kind of setup question :) Danny ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
