The 'Remote Access' is not there. It's 'Remote Desktop Connection'. I'm still running '9' but with KDE-3.3.2. There used to be a right-click menu option, 'New Session'. It disappeared w/the new KDE. :-\ I can get a session started but that was easier than how I have to now do it.

look in the suse-kde archives. There was a discussion there about "Start New Session" missing from the wheel. IIRC, it was when kde 3.2 was issued and many people lost the new session menu entry. I lost mine also and regained it by the directions provided there. sorry, don't remember all the requirements, but the entries in xdm/Xsessions and kdm/Xsession were *part* of it. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos

Thanks.

Hi CH,

I think you mean what appears to be (in) "Start-->Switch User" where Start is that green button at the utmost left of the taskbar (BTW in SuSE 9.2, before 9.2 it has been called different, if I remember right). Don't you?

Yes! Jolly useful, hadn't thought to try it. It automatically launches a new kde session on a new xserver you can reach with ctrl-alt-f8. Cool. Thanks Martin -- Fergus Wilde Chetham's Library Long Millgate Manchester M3 1SB Tel: +44 161 834 7961 Fax: +44 161 839 5797 http://www.chethams.org.uk

Thanks for all the help. The problem is solved! I copied a few items in a couple xserver files & now I have the 'New Session' option back in the right-click menu from the Desktop. ======

Ok, great, now want to share the details of your work? It would help if others are interested in getting it back, don't you think? ;o) Lee -- --- KMail v1.7.2 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 "Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game!"
