[Kde-kiosk] newbie question

[BTrout at mbsbooks.com]

I don't believe KIOSKTOOL has anything to do with your problem.

Its an X (susue 9.2) issue.

Kiosktool is kde only.

I believe SUSE uses a env var "WINDOWMANAGER" to determine window manager 
at login.

Check your .profile - /etc/profile .... places where is getting set

Or maybe the that version of suse forces that window manager for root?
