My system: pentium 75 Ram-16 Operating system = freebsd 3.0 The problem; As a root user i installed KDE from the ports directory with *make install* then i went to the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinitxinitrc and commented out the default things at the bottom of the file, and placed *startkde* in that same file. So, when a user types startx... kde would be started. it works fantastic for the *root* user. But, for a *normal user* the following occurs.... Kde starts, and goes on to create directories in the user's home/directory. But, the for the normal user an error comes up saying "could not create ~/.kde/share/apps/kfm/magic <-- this was created fine with the *root user. When the *normal user* logs out of kde (so i can track down what might be wrong) all of the directories that kde said it was making are not in that *normal users* home directory. Again i say kde is werking fine as a *root user* The permissions on all of the normal users home directory, that have a prob with running kde... that users folder is drwxr-xr-x <-- would this stop kde from creating those directories? i am totally lost on this one.
