Three things: (1)When attempting to logout of KDE & shutdown the box I am everlastingly sent to the login screen and have to select 'shutdown' AND enter root's password before the box will actually shutdown. This started happening after the online updates were installed w/YOU. (2)When SuSE9 Pro was first installed, pressing the power switch logged me out lf KDE & shutdown the box by default. No longer, and this, too, seems to have changed post-installation of online updates. (3)In the Control Center, under KDE Components, is something else called Session Manager ...and the settings therein will not hold! I select anything other than 'Login as different user' and 'Apply', and the next time I boot the box that change is gone --if it takes that long, which often is does not. As an aside, the AMD-optimized kernel was listed as one of the updates and I reluctantly updated though I have an Intel P4. I wondered why it was auto-checked in the listing, but since I'm new to SuSE... Any help greatly appreciated. Hope I don't have to start from scratch. ...CH

Try Yast > Security and Users > Security Settings. You may find only root can logout.

No idea about that one.

I've had some similar problems with KDE components but I can't trace them. I suspect some configuration file is set to read-only, but I can't find such a file.

There was a posting about this recently. IIRC, it's not to be worried about. -- JDL Non enim propter gloriam, diuicias aut honores pugnamus set propter libertatem solummodo quam Nemo bonus nisi simul cum vita amittit.
