I am trying to write some scripts that will give me access to kdm features from non-kde envionments.. specificly the shutdown, reboot, and newsession options. I have been lead to belive that this can be done in some way with dcopclient- anyone have any experience with this? I can only find very little documentation on it. I am running kde3 from sid, but this should apply to any kde3... Jay -- Jay Kline http://www.slushpupie.com
