I can's get kdm to work when I type kde nothing happens ... no prosess
are spawned and no errors are given ... I also can not get xdm to work
... same deal as above and with xmd the /var/log/xdm-errors is filesize 0
... any thoughts ... also I have qt installed from the debian ftp site so
I can get the window manager to start but I would like to get it to also
start the panel and the other kde things automaticly... like the fvwm95-2
WM works when it starts it starts the taskbar as well... the other thing
I would like to do is have kde startup with a KVT instead of a xterm ...
in fvwm95-2 this is done by editing the file
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm95/.fvwm95rc ... is there a file that does this
same function for kde ...? thanks ..
