FWIW, here I just login at the text CLI, and run startx (which is setup with a kde session that then runs startkde, etc). Totally practical for network authentication, indeed, ssh CLI login if desired, and no X overhead when nobody's logged in or when the login is CLI and doesn't need X. And it's much harder to break a CLI login than a *DM of any sort. =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
