 desktop config Hello, I got KDE running on Gentoo. Konqueer works, but, I have one small problem. When I firt up a terminal window, I do not get the shell prompt. I can use the web, and type stuff in, and the mouse works fine. Somehow the login session does not automatically give me my shell promt to my home directory. I'm able to use the mouse and keyboard to configure kde, just no shell prompt in the windows/terminals....? Ideas on this one? James      |

This is bizzare, maybe I'll check on a kde group, as I've never seen this before, and I've run kde on redhead, OBSD and Debian, with no troubles.... James |
