before the box will actually shutdown. This started happening after the online updates were installed w/YOU.
Try Yast > Security and Users > Security Settings. You may find only root can logout.
(2)When SuSE9 Pro was first installed, pressing the power switch logged me out lf KDE & shutdown the box by default. No longer, and this, too, seems to have changed post-installation of online updates.
No idea about that one.
(3)In the Control Center, under KDE Components, is something else called Session Manager ...and the settings therein will not hold! I select anything other than 'Login as different user' and 'Apply', and the next time I boot the box that change is gone --if it takes that long, which often is does not.
I've had some similar problems with KDE components but I can't trace them. I suspect some configuration file is set to read-only, but I can't find such a file.
As an aside, the AMD-optimized kernel was listed as one of the updates and I reluctantly updated though I have an Intel P4. I wondered why it was auto-checked in the listing, but since I'm new to SuSE...
There was a posting about this recently. IIRC, it's not to be worried about.
Many thanks! ...CH
