You are right.

Now I instead wonder why it works for you when you launch kde from the console 
instead of thru kdm.

If I add commants like 'env > /tmp/X11-xsession-env' around in different 
files, after kdm is launched, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is mentioned, so it is not 
kdm that seem to strip it


I found the SETUID root bit in the kde startup.
it is /usr/bin/start_kdeinit which is launched in /usr/bin/startkde

For more info about the setuid start_kdeinit:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=203535 (opensuse bug) which also 
points to:
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&m=115469720712557&w=2

So your bug should be pretty kde specific and it should also exist when 
starting kde from commandline - but you say it doesn't. I wonder a bit about 
that.

I'm not able to telnet to the FPU on the gadget from Internet Explorer 96, how 
does it work?

You neither can send a level-4 forward, nor have to rename a URL to explore a 
RW port.
