I too have been looking for something like this, but I have not found anything as yet. Perhaps it would make for a good enhancment request?

Subject: [suse-kde] KDE logout script?
Question:
Is there a way to have KDE run a shell script that I supply to perform some custom clean-ups when I log out? Sort of like an opposite of the Autostart?

I am experiencing the same problem. I can start KDE from the console, but not from KDM. It hangs at the kcminit phase for me as well.
It did work until I was playing with my screen saver, which for some reason crashed X completely. After that I started having this hang. I changed the screen saver back thinking that has something to do with the problem, but this had no effect.
Any thoughts on this are much welcomed.

Subject: [suse-kde] KDE login hang again
KDE 3.3.0 on SuSE 9.1 here.
I am experiencing a hang at the splash screen again after logging in to KDE. This time, I've done a bit of debugging and found that the culprit is kcminit. In the /opt/kde3/bin/startkde script, there is a line:
LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kcminit +knotify
If I change this line to skip kcminit as follows, then I can log in just fine:
LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +knotify
Manually running "kdeinit +kcminit" in a kconsole window shows a bunch of messages, and I confirmed that it does not complete and return to the shell prompt. I have to ctrl-C to abort it.
So, 2 questions:
1. Just what does kcminit do? I don't seem to have lost any obvious
functionality without it?
2. Why might kcminit be hanging on my machine?

I have SuSE Linux Personal 9.1 and am running KDE. I wanted to try

only loads KDE. What do I have to edit in these files to be able to

Hallo Liste,
schöne grüsse von kurt garloff, er hat einen kernel gebaut der anscheinend das
problem mit dem hänger beim brennen von audio cds löst. Testet den mal. Liegt
unter ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/garloff/kernel/cd/ zum download.
Bei mir läufts jedenfalls jetzt mit dem kernel.
bye,
MH

Hi,
After update my SuSE 9.1 to KDE (via YOU) the application
launcher (Alt+F2) is oppening stil on the same workspace.
When i invoke it from on example first workspace, then
cancel, switch to thrird and invoke it again - it appears
on the first workspace. It appearas allways on this workspace,
where the first invoke was made. Volks from de.comp.os.unix.apps.kde
with another distros could not reproduce this problem. Could someone
of you try to reproduce this problem.
Ciao, Raphael
PS: Sorry for my "broken" english :-|

Hi there,
I'm running KDE 3.3.0 on 3 machines now - 1 SuSE 9.0 and 2 SuSE 9.1.
I've got the same problem on both 9.1-machines:
KDE is setting all sound-options to 0.
Everytime I log in I have to do all sound settings again.
I tried to do the settings in YAST - so success.
I tried different mixers - no success.
It must be a KDE 3.3.0 problem because it exists since installing 3.3.0.
But only on SuSE 9.1. 9.0 is running well.
Anyone an idea to solve the problem?
Greetings
Jochen

hello list,
is there still a way to get 3.2.3 via Yast (yast-source). If yes, please could
you tell me where?

hi -
have recently upgraded to kde 3-3 via the Suse RPM updates and everything
seems to have gone fine...only one minor problem:
- konqueror no longer shows previews of any mimetype.
previews are enabled and I have checked the settings for the various filetypes
that should be displaying previews and everything 'seems' to be in order.
has anyone else experienced this problem?...or something similar? Any
suggestions would be welcome - although I usually have previews off, I find
it a useful feature to be able to turn on occasionally via a shortcut key.
thanks,
Chris
Hi all,
I have noticed something new in the present KDE 3.3 release. Try this
and see if it works for you too. Open up Konqueror, the file manager,
home will do and move a file or folder around the window. Did you get
trails? :o)
Refreshing the window or even just moving it slightly will clear the
trails, but I don't think they are suppose to be there?
