Dear List I just installed SUSE 9.3 yesterday. When I login as root at the GUI user and password it starts kde automatically. When I log in as an NIS user I get a console window Have a lot of fun... Directory: /home/chook Wed Nov 2 09:42:52 PST 2005 linux: /home/chook> I then have to type startkde or kde to start KDE. When I end my session I have to also type in "exit" in the same window to get the login screen back which I don't have to do as root. Does anyone kno whow to change it so that starting and ending kde is automatic for everyone. Kelly
