[NTLUG:Discuss] KDE does not start normally in Suse 9.1

[Brian Kontrath]

Hello everybody,

I have a Suse 9.1 box that was improperly shutdown and now KDE does not 
start properly.  At the kdm login screen I select KDE as my preferred WM 
for the session but when I  login I get a very plain xterm window (twm?) 
and thats it.  At this point, I usually have to start kde from the xterm 
window by typing "kde" and then everything seems to work ok. Of course, 
during the session I can't close the xterm window without killing KDE.   
How do I fix this so that KDE starts normally?

TIA,

Brian
