There are several ways. One is to use your shell environment to set them. ~/.bashrc if you use bash. Henne -- Hendrik Vogelsang aka Henne mailto: hvogel@hennevogel.de I haven't been fucked like that since grade school! # figth club sigs made with fortune

nice idea. was more interested in where it is that they are set back to qt2 etc. Is there anything else that gets executed?

When I tried the kde3 stuff I stuck them in ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession if you use kdm or xdm. This way they will only be set in X's environment. It makes going between kde2 and kde3 very easy.

If you are using kdm or xdm then the startup file is ~/.xsession not ~/.xinitrc. Make those changes in ~/.xsession to see if that works.

This may not be helpful because our needs are different, but I have export QTDIR='/usr/lib/qt-2.3.0' export KDEDIR='/opt/kde2' and these I set in /etc/profile.local Works for me, but I'm just learning just Qt2 programming exercises.

man X search for xsession. Here is a blurp: xdm (the X Display Manager) If you want to always have X running on your dis play, your site administrator can set your machine up to use the X Display Manager xdm. This program is typically started by the system at boot time and takes care of keeping the server running and getting users logged in. If you are running xdm, you will see a window on the screen welcoming you to the system and asking for your username and password. Simply type them in as you would at a normal terminal, pressing the Return key after each. If you make a mistake, xdm will display an error message and ask you to try again. After you have successfully logged in, xdm will start up your X environment. By default, if you have an executable file named .xsession in your home directory, xdm will treat it as a program (or shell script) to run to start up your initial clients (such as terminal emulators, clocks, a window manager, user settings for things like the background, the speed of the pointer, etc.). Your site administrator can provide details. <snip> Here is exactly what I have in mine: ~/.xsession # Suse stuff here ... # Towards the bottom ##################### # Start up kde3 beta export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/qt3/lib:/opt/kde3/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export PATH=/opt/kde3/bin:$PATH WINDOWMANAGER=/opt/kde3/bin/startkde exec $WINDOWMANAGER
Know what you mean. I encountered the same and have not found the cause. A good startpoint can be the driectory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm, the file Xsession. Or read the source of the startx startup script. Op dinsdag 26 maart 2002 20:08, schreef je:
