Re: kde 3.2 upgrade problem

[Paul Winkler <pwink@sbcglobal.net>]

Klaus,

I discovered, (well not a real significant discovery), that you can use kdm - 
just click on menu->session type->kde, the kdm panel doesn't show that it 
will boot in kde but it does.  As for my icons, they are still missing 
(sigh).....they can't have gone far.  Thanks.

Paul
