Remember that if you ever upgrade your xbase package (planning on moving to slink when it comes out?) that it will blow away kdm to replace it with the new version of xdm. > 3) Edited /etc/X11/window-managers and put /usr/local/kde/bin/kwm as the first > line.

Assume for a moment that you machine will have more than one user, and possibly one of your users wants to run another window environment like Window Maker or Afterstep. The kde clients would still get run. Plus (this is a biggie) you'll notice, if you read the Xstartup and Xstartup_0 files, that THEY ARE RUN AS ROOT! Do you really want all your users to be running kfm with root privilages? That would be BAD. noah PGP public key available at http://lynx.dac.neu.edu/home/httpd/n/nmeyerha/mail.html or by 'finger -l [EMAIL PROTECTED]' -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBNpmCPIdCcpBjGWoFAQE3rAP/fDQygqO+r99Y2nGZJMGOVm8ZrtW+yerK 7MVg1msaLLKcB+Br2C0jKgTe8/VJzhiU5j4BrtQOyO3PAXyaSMW7OApVCIMZHd5h nnO5GRxagFHKSJcm+CE5hO907cdq5J2L0BWoakP2OnkyElWtb+XbThRLVbwwBSoH eySlkIThXus= =pBwW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
