See /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and set DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm4" Also, please post what what written there. On the other side as you manually added desktop elements it can be some other problem too. I would try to run as root user: SuSEconfig -- Regards Rajko,

You'd hope it wouldn't but, in my experience with the versions of Gnome and KDE in Factory, it does. Using kdm as the login manager allows KDE to log out, suspend to disc and/or shut down properly[0]. From Gnome, asking to shut down or hibernate takes me back to the login screen and I have to select shutdown or suspend from that. [0] Although I've still to report the failure to suspend to disc when the battery goes flat.

It seems that desktop managers are not well synchronized, but currently I don't have GNOME and I can't test interaction. I used to have KDE and GNOME installed, but when comes update time then it takes very long to update both. -- Regards Rajko,
