WINDOWMANAGER=kde startx -- :8 is what you are looking for. You can start a new session directly from an xterm but I usually : Switch to tty1 Ctrl+Alt+F1 Enter login and password (this way I can login as a different user if desired) then WINDOWMANAGER=kde startx -- :8 You can get back to your previous session (fluxbox) by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F7 That should do it - -- dh Don't shop at ZipZoomFly.com (GoogleGear.com!) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAdMcDBwgxlylUsJARAtbvAJoD7bFqnTTRmxaFbjYtXlar2L4lRgCeJdlz EQ8HehwjJYv4cdtK4i3ditg= =x8wM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I'm not sure how to do it but...

Although this thread is related to starting a new session (now via kdm) 
from a window manager other than KDE I'm sure the answer could be found 
in the KDE menu's somehow.

I don't know where to look specifically (and would love to find out) 
there are some items in the kde menu that are not directly accessible 
via the menu editor. One of these items is 
"Start New Session"

Obviously if one could find out what happens when this menu is selected 
then they would be well on their way to solving the rest of the 
problem.

So I'll add my 2 questions here
Where are these additional kde menu's kept, and (as a side learning 
project) what diagnostics can I use to find out what command's are run 
when I select a menu.

Thanks

Hi CWSIV! Didn't you understand the question or didn't I understand your answer? Reread the question carefully and rethink your answer. Correct me, if needed. Daniel Zitat von Carl William Spitzer IV :

click the suse icon in the lower left corner, click the start new session.
