RedHat 7.0? Not sure about using KDE2 but with RH7 and KDE 1.1.2 there is a
known problem with the PATH setup. The fix as far as I remember is to edit
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession and change the very first line to:
#!/bin/bash --login
I also changed /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 where it says 'pidof'; change this to
'/sbin/pidof' - because the PATH is incomplete/wrong it can't find just
'pidof'.
Hopefully it should all then work - well it does on my machine :-)
