I remember that I had a command in my menu, that allowed me to open a second instance of KDE. I used that for root and as user. Now I cannot find it anymore. Can anybody give me a hint, please? bye Ronald

On my SuSE menu, I've got an icon with a rocket, called "Start another session", which does what you want.

Hi Ronald, please try to use the following command line for starting a new desktop: WINDOWMANAGER="<kde>" startx -- :8 This command line means that a KDE session will start on desktop 8, and this desktop will be associated to F8 key (i.e., on my SUSE 9, F6 is a pure shell system, and F7 is the current and first opened X session). You will be able to switch between session using F6,F7,F8,etc. keys. If it works, edit your KMenu with right clicking on the K icon and choosing "Menu Editor", then insert a new menu item with the desidered command and you will have your button back.

When meeting with a sudden shower, you try not to get wet and quickly run along the road. But doing such things as passing under the eaves of houses, you still get wet. When you are resolved from the beginning, you will not be perplexed though you will still get the same soaking.

I believe he's looking for the icon, which is supposed to be on the menu, but apparently disappeared from his system. That icon runs the next available session.

Check the file: :/usr/X11R6/lib/X11> ls $PWD/xdm/Xservers /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers It should contain the bottom lines in the example below: :/usr/X11R6/lib/X11> tail $PWD/xdm/Xservers # # XTerminalName:0 foreign # # Note: The vt07 is required to start the local X server on the virtual # console 7. This avoids conflicts with gettys of /etc/inittab. # :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt07 :1 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt08 :2 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :2 vt09 -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
