Yeah, aptitude was unable to resolve all dependencies and forced me to
remove some packages I didn't want it to remove. Now they are all
resolved, no packages are broken, but kdm doesn't work.
How do I start kde without kdm or gdm? Is there an equivalent to
startx? Or can I just start the panel? That's the most useful part
besides konqueror as web browser. I don't need anything else of it.
And btw, starting kde with kdm never loaded my .Xressources, and
having numlock turned on automatically doesn't turn on the led. Is
there a way to fix that?
