It's added from /etc/xdg/autostart/, you should be able to disable it from g-s-p by pressing "Disable". Anyway, it's good to know this wasn't the issue. > Also, shouldn't session startup actually notify any failure to the > user and then close/advance the splash screen? AFAIK kde startup does > that. I guess so, but I'm not really sure how it works. Does this still happen (splash stays) if you add a new user to your system and try logging in? Do you have the loopback interface properly configured (can ping localhost/127.0.0.1)? Can you ping the address "172.17.xx.xx" from the log? -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22
