Thanks Bob. I too would rather figure it out but time is not on my side. The reason I really wanted to redo things without kde3 is that something happens where say changing system configs in the control panel give errors and don't take affect. I believe the problem is with PATH but would rather first find out what the system looks at to boot a particular GUI and where the files may be. After doing the kde3 update I saw that it said it was important to add (i believe) /opt/kde3/bin to the path, that's why the other day I was asking about permanent additions to the path. Gotta run....to be continued..........
