Hello fellow SuSErs! After installing XFree84-4.0.2, I have the following problem with KDE/KDM/KWM: When I log in from the KDM screen, I simply get a single xterm. My KDE desktop does not load. I put a few echo statements in /sbin/init.d/xdm and they show that WINDOWMANAGER and DISPLAYMANAGER are set to "kdm" and "kwm" -- what else needs to be set up? If I run .xinitrc from the xterm window, then the KDE desktop starts OK. Also, If I kill the X-session and run startx (as a normal user from a tty) then KDE Starts up OK. Just yesterday I installed XFree86 4.0.1 and did not have this problem! I thought putting 4.0.2 on top would be easy. ======= The following may or may not be significant ============= I do get several errors when I run .xinitrc: robert@home:~ > . .xinitrc Updating default desktop Creating Floppy icons...
