I start KDE as myself, an unprivilegued(sp?) user. I have tried to start KDE as root as well and then the messages no not show up. But, I somehow suspect they shouldn't ever appear. > I'm on Mandriva but I see these sorts of messages when I start up a GUI > from Konsole and usually as root. When KDE is up and running I never see anything like it. Starting a program from Konsole never shows these messages. > The only other thought is that you are somehow defaulting your startup > from the command line shell and > though everything looks OK otherwise, the console you are using could be > minimized or some such ? "deafulting your startup"? I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I start KDE on a text console with "startx" which runs "startkde" -> messages appear. The configuration of the text console doesn't have anything to do with my problems, or am I wrong? > From your console command prompt, try to start up something simple ( as > root ), like your favourite GUI text editor and see if you get simular > messages. No similar messages even appear when KDE is up and running, when running as root or any other user. /andreas -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
