Re: select gui at startup
Thanks to all for your help... I've got KDE starting after an xdm login;
however, opening applications (emacs, Netscape) are extremely slow in GNOME
as well as KDE. In KDE, mouse movement varies between none and extremely
time-delayed.
I'm guessing I botched some setup file or something and that my problems
(except mouse) are not KDE-specific, but if you have any ideas, please let
me know. If I can't fix this, I guess I'll have to reinstall debian or
something.
thanks again,
will
