Thanks Guus.

I don't even know the terminal proggy its running.  What kde I am running, 
is running with gdm though.  I tried kdm, but it wouldn't even boot to the 
login screen. And I've not settled into that chair for long enough to 
figure out what might be the kdm problem.  That is likely 10 days or so on 
down the log, life is getting in the way. ;)

Cheers, gene
