Well, almost.  Thanks -- now I remember having read this before!  but
for some reason, the simple startx command puts me right into kde,
without the usual dialog box asking how I want to log in.  This
happens regardless of what user I log in as.

I should say that I have one x session up aklready, running kde.  

is there a way around that, do you think?
