well, there is a .kde directory where all kde related configurations get stored, but no LD_LIBRARY_PATH in any of those files (even binary)... I will have to study the KDE startup nicely sometime.

Is it possible to know which program modified the .xsession-errors last? -- Regards PK -------------------------------------- http://counter.li.org #402424 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
