Re: GDM, XDM & KDM
Sorry I wasn't more clear. Can login and start any window manager, not even failsafe. If I start KDM manually, same problem. I can login with XDM & GDM, just not KDM. I looked for something that set KDM apart from GDM/XDM as far as configuration goes, just can't seem to locate it.
One unusual item though. If I install xterm (via apt-get) and login with KDM, I get an xterm and nothing else. I have since removed xterm to take a variable out of the mix to try to get to the root of the issue.
Thanks,
Hugo
