<DIV>Success!!!!...almost :)</DIV>
<DIV>Creating the link to '/opt/kde' allowed me to view JPEG images. I can use the background (wallpaper) images as well as use the konsole schemas.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>However...I am still having problems w/ my hot keys. I did a little poking around and realized NONE of my hot keys work. I can type in the complete alphabit (a-z,A-Z), but none of the 'CTL-key', 'ALT-key' or 'SHIFT-key' sequences are recognized. For example, if I am in a konsole window (active), and I hit 'CTL-TAB', I 'should' move to the next desktop. Instead, my bash shell asks me if I want to display all 253 selections. This leads me to believe my 'CTL' key is not being intercepted by the server. Any suggestions? I would try the xmodmap except I am not sure what to map the keys to.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks again</DIV>

<DIV>Gotcha:</DIV>
<DIV> % cd /opt</DIV>
<DIV> % ln -s /export/home/smith/opt/kde kde</DIV>
<DIV>then logout & try it again.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The only reason I was placing it in another area was I wanted to use it on my own before giving it to 'the public' (i.e. all the other developers on my project). All our drives are NFS mounted so I only need to install it in one location.</DIV>
<DIV>However, the KDE window manager will run outside of dt-login if I do the setup as follows:</DIV>
<DIV> o edit my .xinitrc file so it sets up KDEDIR, QTDIR, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc.</DIV>
<DIV> o have $KDEDIR/startkde as the last line in the .xinitrc file</DIV>
<DIV> o choose 'OpenWindows' from the Session combo box under the dt-login screen.</DIV>
<DIV>When I login, it uses kwm instead of olwm. I will try the dt-login stuff (I assume it installs under '/etc/dt/config/'?). Like I said, I can run all applications, just some features (like the afore mentioned JPEG and my Hot Keys) do not work. </DIV>
<DIV>One other possible problem is 'old' configuration stuff (.kde, .qt, .kderc, etc.). Should I remove all those old directories/files before logging in? I noticed some paths in a '.qtrc' file under the '.qt' directory that pointed to '/usr/local/qt' for plugins.</DIV>
<DIV>I will let you know tomorrow how it goes.</DIV>
<DIV><BR>Thanks again,</DIV>
