It's supposed to be ( and was before I installed KDE3 ) started from
gdm.

I installed it from the latest 3.0.2 RPM's from the KDE ftp site.

Yes, same user as for KDE2. I can't run kde2 now, though, either. I
tried re-installing KDE2 from my Mandrake install CD's, and it has
problems too. I can't remember what they were, since when it started
having problems, I just un-installed it again, and continued to try to
debug the problem with KDE3.

Most of the time I've been running Gnome, but now I'm having problems
with it as well, since it won't keep the WindowManager settings I set up
in it. So I'm fairly hosed! <grin>

But one should not forget that money can buy a bed but not sleep, 
finery but not beauty, a house but not a home, 
medicine but not health, luxuries but not culture, 
sex but not love, and amusements but not happiness.
