Hi All -

I have been trying to get KDE up and running just for fun, and have been able to build it from source and install using fink (install bundle-kde-ssl). This seems to go fine, but when I include the appropriate lines in the .xinitrc file, nothing seems to happen.

source /sw/bin/init.sh
/sw/bin/startkde >/sw/var/log/kde.log 2>&1

It just sits there with the X cursor, X11 doesn't quit. If I add lines to create windows they have no handles, etc. since there is no window manager. I have been able to use one of these windows to verify the installation by manually executing the "startkde" script. This works - although it usually crashed eventually :) . I can't understand why this would work in a shell but not in the .xinitrc > file.

Do you have write permission to /sw/var/log to create the log file?
