Jantzen Ah, I see. What I can tell you specifically applies to KDE 3.5.5, as that is what I currently have on my work system. The general idea should be the same, I'd expect, in newer versions and Gnome. From the K Menu list, select "Control Center", in Control Center's left pane, expand the "System Administration" item and select "Login Manager". This will give you access to actions/functions you can set to change how the login looks and works. In particular, there is a "Convenience" tab, that allows setting up "Auto-Login". If this is set, then it's the cause of the problem. This is as far as my knowledge goes. If this is not the source of the problem, someone with more experience will need to pitch in. -- Bob McGowan
