If this is not the correct list to ask these questions, please point me to the correct place. We develop an RDP server for linux, which contains a custom built X11 server (based on XOrg 7.2). So far KDE was running fine on our system, but on some newer distros start_kdeinit (or rather kdeinit when started through start_kdeinit) seems to hang forever. This only happens when KDE is started with our X11 server as display, but works fine for normal console sessions. This problem has been confirmed to be on at least OpenSUSE 10.2 (KDE 3.5.7 i believe) and Fedora 8 (KDE 3.5.9). My questions are: * what is kdeinit doing differently when started through start_kdeinit and how could a different X11 server cause it to block forever? * Does this configuration need a special extension (not all X11 extenions are available on our server) ? * Does this configuration need special rights (startkde is executed as user, not as root) ? * Does this configuration need access to a working console, ... ? * Most importantly: is there a way to avoid this without a custom KDE ? I already figured out that replacing start_kdeinit with kdeinit works, but this is not a feasiable solution. regards, Michael -- Thinstuff s.r.o http://www.thinstuff.com >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
