kde startup problem
Upon using kdm to start up kde, I get the blue screen which shows me
each service starting up in order, and after the startup sound plays,
I get a grey screen and a mouse cursor. That is all that appears. It
is rather amazing.
I kill kdm, log in, and run startx. Due to my . files, I get X up,
but running twm. Then I move to one of the base xterms, 'killall twm'
and then start up kde, with the command
bash-2.04$ kde2
Was that the right thing to do?
Here is where it gets interesting..... My notes will be set off by
