Some things I had to do: 1) Added a new "login/session" of "kde3" in the "Control Center" This relates to the installation entry: "/usr/X11R6/bin/kde3" which is a symlink to "/opt/kde3/bin/startkde". NOTE: The SuSE/YAST1 installation had added double forward slashes to the above "kde3" path which I removed and corrected (ie; "/usr//X11R6//bin/kde3").
True, forgot about that. But the // is irrelevant. The shell will just ignore the extra / and handle it correctly.
2)Updated ".xinitrc" to include a check for "kde3" windowmanager and then added the path as "/usr/X11R6/bin/kde3" to facilitate execution.
Not needed. That test is for when you don't have a window manager set. Note that the tests begin with
if test -z "$WINDOWMANAGER" ; then if test -x /usr/X11R6/bin/kde ; then
and so forth.
test -z means "if $WINDOWMANAGER is empty", so that is just a series of tests to load a "default" wm.
Problem: I didn't have any icons on my panel with the exception of the task icon and the desktop icon.
Yep, I had that too. The cvs version creates them though, so I don't know what suse's packager has done. I'm in the process of creating my own rpms, though...

I would be interested should you decide to distribute the rpms. Thanks for your help, Anders! Anthony
