So the module being used is /opt/kde3/bin/kdm, but /opt/kde/bin/startkde looks inside it for 'kdm3'? No wonder this stuff confuses me. Thanks; I'll give that a try.
Just out of curiosity, is there a similar 'gotcha' with kwin? Does /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager need to specify kwin3 instead of kwin?

Sure; but how does that tell us anything about the internal names used by these facilities? similarly, $ egrep 'kde|kdm' /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager
## Type: string(kdm,xdm,gdm,wdm,entrance,console,lightdm,sddm) # Here you can set the default Display manager (kdm/xdm/gdm/wdm/entrance/console).

Doesn't show a relationship between kdm and kdm3 either. And YaST isn't any better:
File: /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager Possible Values: kdm, xdm, gdm, wdm, entrance, console, lightdm, sddm or any value Default Value: Description:
Here you can set the default Display manager (kdm/xdm/gdm/wdm/entrance/console). all changes in this file require a restart of the displaymanager
File: /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager Possible Values: gnome, kde4, kde, lxde, xfce, twm, icewm or any value Default Value: kde4 Configuration Script: profiles, kde, susewm Description:
Here you can set the default window manager (kde, fvwm, ...) changes here require at least a re-login
Someone has decided that KDE3 is passé, so no longer needs to be documented (in the OpenSuSE distro, anyway). (Not that any of this stuff was well-documented to begin with; but that's a different issue.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org
