I use KDM as a graphical login manager, which selects KDE, Gnome etc etc I go into KDE, go into the control center, modify sessions delete some sessions and add Fluxbox. In /etc/kde2/kdm/kdmrc, I get ....

I have edited /etc/kde2/kdm/kdmrc directly with vi, it works then defaults again !! I have edited kdmrc then removed write permissions, chmod a=-w kdmrc it works then defaults again !! One clue, though I dont know what to do with it, kdm.options contains .. # /etc/kde2/kdm/kdm.options # # configuration options for kdm # See kdm.options(5) for an explanation of the available options. no-ignore-nologin no-restart-on-upgrade no-run-xconsole use-sessreg generate-sessiontypes The last line, generate-sessiontypes, could be a clue. I tried man kdm.options(5) no go ??? Any idea where the kdm.options(5) help file is ? Any idea why kdmrc defaults ? All help much appreciated. **PS I have not uploaded any updates from debian. My winmodem driver wont compile in debian, havent sorted this one out yet !!!! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
