Hi Folks,

A few days ago I did a zypper dup against the KDE:/Release:/47/openSUSE_11.4/
repository and boy howdy, the pasta really it the fan!  I initially had an ATI 
adapter and
after the upgrade kdm would crash, as would xstart after Xorg was made suid 
root. 

After flailing around and making negative progress I decided to retire the 
whole desktop
and made a new installation on a second system with an NVIDIA adapter.  After 
the same
update to 4.7 kdm was crashing again, as was X started manually.  The 
Xorg.0.log log didn't
have any "EE" errors, X just blinked out of existence. 

After more flailing about I discovered that X failed ONLY for users who listed 
tcsh as
their default login shell!  Bash users worked fine after issuing "startx".  Kdm 
is still
borked. 

So X has an issue when being started from the tcsh shell.  Think this is worth 
filing
a bug report?  Anyone else seen it?

Regards,
Lew
