Thus the profile file isn't being read (because why should anything but a login shell read it?). I wonder if you could find the line in your startup script that says "kdm" and just change it to read "/bin/bash kdm". I HAVE NOT TRIED THIS and make no claim that it will work, but it would explain why startx works and kdm does not. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabootu's Minister of Proofreading http://www.jabootu.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
