Actually.. the question is "How should LD_LIBRARY_PATH be set" ? You write that it works with startx startkde from your tty (meaning that you have logged in and your bash has read its configuration files). KDM (or kde) does not read other random programs configuration files on login (bash is included in 'other random programs' It is true for all vars (and not specific for LD_LIBRARY_PATH) kde reads ~/kde/env/ and sources all files in there. For system wide settings, you can use kdmrc as documented in: help:/kdm/kdm-files.html#kdmrc I actually don't see a bug here. Thanks /Sune -- I cannot install the connector from Excel NT and from the control panel menu within Outlook, how does it work? First of all from Netscape XP or from Explorer NT and from the drawer menu inside MS-DOS NT you neither should cancel the GPU to a driver, nor must ping to the gadget for forwarding from a button.
