Thanks again. </snip> Heh Go to K/Start/What-ever-the-hell-it-is > Preferences > System > Login Manager and K/Start/What-ever-the-hell-it-is > Preferences > System > Session Manager and that should take care of it (I think) Yeah, with your specs nothing <em />should be running slow. <specs> K6-2 (500) <clocked down from 550> 416 megs of RAM VooDoo 3 with 16 megs of memory </specs> This is my machine and it runs very smoothly. If it weren't for the fact that things don't crash I wouldn't know that I am not running Windows 2000 anymore. I tried Ximian GNOME for a couple of days. It looks really nice. It looks like it should be a commercial product. However, I missed the stability of KDE. I would get random freezes. Whole programs (if left too long without interaction) would just sleep and decide not to wake up. Killing the programs and restarting them would not help. Most often I'd have to log out and log back in to set things right and sometimes I would have to reboot to set things straight. Also, Ximian treats you like a Windows user. This is either because the Ximian people think they are so elite that they don't need to give the users configurability, or they think you are just plain stupid. i.e. In Ximian you can only change the menus as root. (!!!) Instead of having a config file for each user. Maybe there is a workaround, maybe I am just too blind to see it, but KDE was just more welcoming. It tells you 'it is ok to try things out. In fact, we encourage trying things out!) KDE is a fine piece of engineering. IMMUHO. -- Samir M.
