Ok, I unmerged all KDE and kde apps, then merged in the new ebuilds of kde (multiple dir support). Two problems: 1. My profile would not let any app start from the menu/start bar. All icons where the generic program symbol. Even though I had moved my .kde to .kde2, and the symlink .kde->.kde2 was done, it is as if something was hardcoded. Anyway, deleteing my .kde2, and letting kde do it again (losing my setup in the process) worked. 2. KVM will only let the user gointo failsafe mode, regardless of what session is selected. Tracking this down, it would seem the Xsession is looking for a bin/wm/$1, and since gentoo doesn't have that, it defaults to failsafe. Modifiying Xsession fixed it.
I' don't think I understand you. What's KVM? Do you mean KDM? Threre's a screensaver called kvm.kss, but I don't think it has anything to do with failsafe sessions.wrt. kdm: kdebase *should* install the bin/wm files. It does here, anyway, and things work for other users as well. Please check why kdebase didn't install /usr/X11R6/bin/wm/kde-$ver (check if it's in the kdebase CONTENTS). You can create it yourself too - it should say#!/bin/sh/usr/kde/2/bn/startkde
Sorry, yes, meant kdm Ok, went back and checked, and the bin/wm is their (not sure how I missed it). Ok, anyway, kdm doesn't let me start anything but the failsafe mode, regardless of the session I have selected.. I thought it was Xsession, but I guess I missed it (hmm, eyesight is worse then I thought).
Ok, reemerged kdebase, and kdm works ok from the command prompt. then did an rc-udpate add xdm default, reboot. That only brings up xdm, nod kdm. A slight mod of /etc/init.d/xdm to not use KDEDIR but /usr/kde/2, and all is well. Is there a chance that KDEDIR hasn't been set by that time? Oh well, it all works now.
I've changed the xdm init.d script of x11-base/xfree to run `which kdm`. So that's fixed.Since you say verything works, I'm closing the bug, since I never expirienced any problems myself.
