As one may discern, I have upgraded successfully to KDE-3.3.2 via YaST and am now stuck w/only one Desktop when I am used to having more than one open at a time. This is crippling. I have looked through the list archives and found nothing that addresses this prob. I vaguely remember having to uncomment a few lines in a config file somewhere in /opt/kde3/config/kdm(?) when I was running Gentoo, but upon looking through the files nothing looks even slighly familiar. I am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks. Googled. -- ..."Yogi" CH Namasté Yoga Studio

Right click desktop, select configure destkop, then Multiple desltops. You may want to load the pager applet to make switching easier. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Find the file Xservers in /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm
Thanks. Googled.
You're welcome. Googled not enough?!

Perhaps... got several results, all for the virtual desktop. Thanks. -- ..."Yogi" CH Namasté Yoga Studio

It suddenly hit me. I have SuSE 9 on another box ...and the xserver files in that directory are identical. Still looking for the correct file but am uncertain just what to google since I already struck out. Oh well.. thanks, anyhow. :-) -- ..."Yogi" CH Namasté Yoga Studio

Well, I understood from your post that you were looking for the file where several virtual consoles can be set up to allow for the KDE New Session button to work. I have had this problem in the past and the Xservers file is where it is set up. You might look in /etc/X11/xdm for another Xservers file. Both should be set up in the same way. Other than that, I have had problems with the 'new session' function in KDE when my /var/run/xdmctl directory had i/o errors on a reiserfs partition. This is where kdm writes its socket file. The Google remark was tongue in cheek, but you know that already. Regards, -- Andreas Philipp Noema Ltda. Bogotá, D.C. - Colombia http://www.noemasol.com

Good grief... I thought it was the file but it doesn't seem to do what I'm looking for it to do. By now you've doubtless read my other post. The 'New Session' option still doesn't appear in the desktop's right-click menu. If you think of something, kid me again. ;-)

Right click on the handle for the pager on the panel then Pager Menu->Configure Virutal Desktops. You can also do this from kcontrol-> Desktop-> Multiple Desktops Brana
