I never got KDM to work, it never accepted the password. But then I have been using KDE from CVS, so I account such problems to some kind of debianization that I miss out not doing it the debian way. Right now I am trying to recompile the whole thing, this time using the debian rules, and thus putting everything into the debian places. Not that easy, since the sources appears to be more updated than the debian rules, and sometimes have different opinions. I somehow assume that debian changes goes back into the KDE CVS tree. Sometimes there is a debian.diff file in the debian directory, which I apply. Sometimes successfully, sometimes not. qt-copy is extra horrible to compile from sources the debian way. If I find any problems, is there anyone interesting in knowing what I did to make it work, or what failed? Note this does not relate to the built .deb files, but to rebuilding them from KDE CVS sources. -- Karolina
