Re: user x login fails
Luiso,
Yes it works. In addition I had to delete /home/tad/.kderc to make
kde work again (kde wizard for new user created previously deleted
.kde and recreated .kderc).
My second problem (in original posting) of not being able to close kde
shell Konsole remains.
Thank you again for your help,
Tad
