See the INVOCATION section of the man page. For me, this meant KDEDIR and the PATH were no longer getting set correctly. Depending on how your system is set up, there may be a file in your home directory called .xdm-errors or xdm-errors that will give you a better idea of what's going on (assuming you're using xdm). -David ----------------------------------------------------- David Eisner | E-mail: cradle@eng.umd.edu | CALCE EPSC | Phone: 301-405-5341 | University of Maryland | Fax: 301-314-9269 | ----------------------------------------------------- -- Send posts to: kde@lists.netcentral.net Send all commands to: kde-request@lists.netcentral.net Put your command in the SUBJECT of the message: "subscribe", "unsubscribe", "set digest on", or "set digest off" ********************************************************************** This list is from your pals at NetCentral
