Beginner

When I start kde with startx, I only see the mousepointer and a grey background.

PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/kde/bin
KDEDIR=/opt/kde/
QTDIR=/opt/qt-3.3.1
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/kde/lib:/opt/qt/lib

I use KDE 3.2, QT 3.3.1, XFree86 4.4.0

Mandrake?

You would not happen to be using Mandrake? I get the same problem, and I suspect there is something strange with Mandrake rather than KDE.

As far I know Mandrake delivers QT 3.0
KDE need at laest 3.2 (maybe 3.1 also ok) :roll:

Looks similar...

Hi, that looks almost exactly the same as the problem I had before when I was compiling KDE. For me, it was QT. I had 3.3 installed and it died the same way, changing my symlink to QT3.2.3, KDE started up.

Hope this helps,
