[NTLUG:Discuss] stupid questions

I forgot what process L/M and KDE use when going into init 5... I have been
trying to fix the fact that in the login window, my keyboard's number lock is
turned off and the enter key on the keypad won't work. In init 3 it works, and
once KDE is running the enter key works. If I knew which rc file to use, I
could fix the prob.... but I don't seem to be able to find it. 

Also, in a related note, what does KDE use as a .profile after a user logs in?
I do not have .xsession, it doesn't read .bash_profile, so what does it read?

I feel like I am supposed to know all this, but I feel like the lawnmower man
at times. Like, where is a detailed description of the login process, from the
time the system goes to init 5 to the time your desktop settles down? That I
have never seen.

I know that I could spend a lot of time digging through scripts to get the
info, but I just don't have the time and would rather be able to have a
reference, either in print or in a HOW-TO..... besides, the time that I have
spent has obviously not done much good if I am asking these questions.

Thanks,
Fred
