OK, confirmed. I set UseSessReg=false in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc, and the problem is resolved. While I was doing this, I noticed the file /etc/kde3/kdm/kdm.options for the first time. This little file has just three options, one of which is (no-)use-sessreg. It has a man page (kdm.options(5)), but the man page doesn't say what happens when kdm.options conflicts with kdmrc. In my case I didn't have anything about UseSessReg in kdmrc, but kdm.options included use-sessreg. Now I put UseSessReg=false in kdmrc, and this seems to override use-sessreg in kdm.options. Confusing, but anyway the problem is solved now. Thanks for your help. Andrew. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
