Howdy folks, I thought I'd toss out my newest opinions of KDE (or RedHat's implementation). Following my RedHat 6.0 install, I left my default window manager configured for KDE, but after a while I decided that I prefer WindowMaker (personal taste). For the time being, I left my wife configured for KDE. Here's my problem. Everytime I log in, the devices in /dev (video, mixer, floppy, etc...) had their owner changed (to wife). Apparently, part of the KDE login process changes owner of devices in /dev to ease access configuration. But since I use WindowMaker, when I log in, I cannot access said devices. So I'm left with having to redo the ownership of the devices. My question are: What part of KDE does this? How do I disable it? Does GNOME work the same way? My personal opinion, this technique of changing access at login stinks! - Christoph - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
