Hi all just to let you know I resolved the missing Start New Session Menu Entry. This entry dynamically appears when sessions are defined in your Xservers file (/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers). I added the following two lines at the bottom of the file.
:1 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt08 :2 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :2 vt09
You need to restart kdm so do an init 3 followed by init 5 or rckdm restart
Unsure why the new RPMs have removed these extra lines - previous releases had many others but I never start more than a few sessions on the console (via XDMCP is another matter).

It does not work for me :( This is on suse-8.2 btw. Is the configuration option 'reserve' okay there?

Sorry, my backup only maintains the newest 2000 posts I receive and 30 April 04 is it. You will have to go to SuSE and look for earlier posts to see the full info. I do not recall what distro he was referring. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711
I also have SuSe 8.2. You may find the file in /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm needs updating. There was some debate about this one but I didn't have it. By the way you need to shutdown kdm and all kde instantiations for it to appear. Best way is to reboot but I did find that rckdm restart worked. Andrew On Friday 07 May 2004 19:44, Richard Bos wrote:

That's right you actually need to restart kdm not just kde!! I wonder whatelse kde queries from kdm? Andrew On Monday 10 May 2004 19:25, Richard Bos wrote:
