does anyone of you have an idea why the kde installation on a woody machine which hosts two users, works fine for one but doesn't even start for the other -- *even* after i removed *all* .kde and related settings from that users home?
the symptoms are that after a kdm login, the startup screen of KDE indicates that it's establishing communication (stage 1) and then initializing system services (stage 2). it might hang there for a while before "initializing peripherals" (stage 3), where it will definitely hang for a long time. after that long time, the stages 4-6 are completed in a flash, the startup screen disappears, and nothing but the user's background bitmap are shown. no KDE. kdm.log shows no anomalies. any clues? -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; net@madduck there's an old proverb that says just about whatever you want it to.
