I don't particularly like the theme that KDE 3 uses for entering KDE when it starts up after login (entirely a matter of taste, of course). It's possible to change it -- and I did. As a classical music buff, I chose the opening phrase of the second movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony as the replacement. Perfecto! Just right to set the mood. Paul Abrahams

Do you have a source of decent quality musical replacements online? Is the changing of the KDE tune obvious or doe it require some exploration and tweaking?

I used kaudioplayer to transcribe the appropriate track from a CD and audacity to clip out just the first few bars.

I wouldn't have the chutzpah to claim that anything in KDE is really obvious. But you can change the tune by going to the KDE Control Panel, then Sound and Multimedia, then System Notifications. Paul Abrahams

Thanks! I am chasing down modem and PDA-Sync hassles but will see about playing with the sound thereafter.
