That sounds good - I'll certainly try it.

just startx - never found a way to start kde directly in recent upgrades 
(startkde used to work a couple of years ago).  But since kde 
'disappeared' following an ill-timed upgrade a few weeks back, I've 
been using icewm.  I may even purge kde from my machine one day soon - 
icewm is so much faster and I don't miss many features of kde 
(kaddressbook, kiconedit, kfax are probably the only ones that don't 
have alternatives, apart from a few games).

Thanks for the help, David.
