So exactly DO i use it the right way? I havent found any clues when googling for it.
That is hard to believe...
All i know is that it "aint starting right". And that kgpg cries about it at startup.
Anyways. I don't remember how exactly this thread started, but just in case it was "it worked before, and since I upgraded kde it does not anymore", maybe it helps to doublecheck that your /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc has in section [X-*-Core] the line Session=/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession # # this was the important part. rumor has it that above line somehow got # lost in some kde update. not for me, though. (yet) # (which should all be default settings for suse). and, to use SuSEs default setup further, you do NOT have your own ~/.xsession, or ~/.xinitrc. then this will end up calling /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/sys.xsession which finally should via some more levels of indirection exec gpg-agent --daemon --no-detach --keep-display ssh-agent $WINDOWMANAGER (still all suse default settings, so do not mess with those scripts). ============================== if you really want to know more about some program installed from an rpm on your box, check its documentations.
