If you look into the config file it tells you something else: $ grep -B 2 Terminate /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc # Restart instead of resetting the local X-server after session exit. # Use it if the server leaks memory etc. Default is false #TerminateServer=true Clearly, a reset is the default, not a restart - unless the comments in kdmrc are obsolete. ;-) > Is the OP in runlevel 5 ? > Is the OP really using kdm ? What does "OP" stand for? If you are referring to Martin's box I would answer "yes" to both questions, since he mentioned kdm in his initial post. -- Bye, Adalbert Anthony's Law of Force: Don't force it; get a larger hammer.
