You can edit your ~/.xinitrc in order to launch the window manager or desktop environment you like. When choose exit on the menu (with one gets by left-clicking the mouse) the frames arround the windows disappear and I don't get the menu back, the only thing I can do is to to console mode and shutdown -r now (and first edit /etc/ttys again for kdm) The session controller for this setting isn't the window manager, it is one of the xterms which you can close using the exit command or pressing Ctrl+D when focused. What you did: You terminated the window manager so the xterms are there on their own, without any window manager (you see that you can still select focus, but there are no window decorations). Is there a command to - restart the kdm window manager (after it died) from a root console prompt? I think you can do this using the kdm command. - stop en start a running kwm window manager from a root console prompt? At last, kill X with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, then run kdm again. Concerning my initial problem - I remember that I wanted to change the home-dir of both user1 and user2, therefore in console as root did a rmuser, then adduser for both. Can this cause this dying of KDM manager? I don't think so, because kdm works on a higher level where the user settings are not important. But... the more I think about it... it could be possible because KDM remembers users that have been logged in and presents a list of users on the system. Maybe it fails to retrieve the needed data, maybe the user database is corrupted or entries refer to non-existing home directories or login shells? -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
