If you refer to adding: LD_BIND_NOW="true kdeinit +kcminit +knotify" This is wrong, because without the quotes it assigns true to LD_BIND_NOW and the execute kdeinit. By adding the quotes you assign to full string to the variable. That means that kdeinit isn't started there (and probably LD_BIND_NOW is tested as "true"). But kdeinit is still started later on, so I wonder the what's doing exactly that line there. > following points to: > > ls -al /bin/sh > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2003-09-18 17:12 /bin/sh -> > bash > > I think not having the quotes is wrong but that bash doesnÂt care(?).

I think is related to a variable initialisation in startx|startkde, but is not this one. -- ricardo galli GPG id C8114D34 http://mnm.uib.es/~gallir/
