Oliver,

This worked! Thankyou sooo much! I thought there must be a simple way of doing it...

I guess this will work for other desktop managers like XFCE as well?

Next question: any idea how to install kickoff (the SuSE style kicker) for the clients? When I tried on my Edubuntu 6.06 server, the KDE panel vanished. I have it running fine on kubuntu edgy at home - maybe it only works with Edgy?

Many thanks for your help,

David.

PS: maybe a howto for installing kubuntu (or other desktop managers) on to edubuntu is called for?
