Hallo Group Members. I am using kde 3.5.8 on my fc6. just when I get KDE login screen (where user puts its login/password), I switch to text console, login as root, then: # export DISPLAY=:.0.0 then: # kdialog --textbox "enter Your text: " this appears on login screen, and that's what I expect. But unfortunatelly I cannot get focus to enter some text. clicking on mouse buttons works ok, but I cannot "activate" a line where text is inserted, hence I cannot insert it. have You got idea on how to do this. regards, Michal. ps. to run application at login screen, I created /etc/X0.hosts, with following contents: localhost.localdomain ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
