First, why is it that no matter which account I'm logged on as (except root) when I run the file manager with super user privileges, it loads the window, then quits immediately. Very frustrating.
Due to whatever reason konqueror crashes if you want to run it as root in a user session.
Dunno what is causing this, do know that it is a known issue.
SuSE 8.1 however does not have this problem
Have u already upgraded to kde 3.1.2?
Second, why is it that when I use the KDE configuration tool to change the logon screen appearance, it no longer recognizes the changes? It did the first couple of times, then it just ignored everything I changed.
loggin of suse is quite a mess.
Please look at /etc/opt/kde2 and /etc/opt/kde3 and link the file kdmrc in both directories with the one in /opt/kde3 to check if that solves the problem.
Also, I can no longer suspend a logged in session. There was a time after installing KDE 3.1 when I could stay logged on as myself, and log on with another account, keeping the first session suspended. That disappeared as well.
you can still run another session, start konsole, login with another account (
su username, and type:
[code:1]startx -- :1[/code:1]
(notice the whitespace for and after '--' )
however this option should be present in kmenu, or under the rmb when clicking on your desktop.
Hope these answers help a bit.
