Re: [TCLUG:3548] xdm



Well i still don't know what the problem was, but I managed to fix it.
I made sure that /usr/local/kde/bin was in my path (the dir where kde
installed), next I edited startkde so that it had full path names, and
it worked.  Weird though, because I had it in my path all along.
