Kppp discovery

[David Mangani]

I had been unable to use KDE as my desktop because kppp would lock up my 
screen when going online. All my icons would disappear the task bar would not 
come up, it was very strange. Almost by chance I inadvertantly ran kppp from 
the kmenu instead of the shortcut on the desktop and it works perfectly! I 
don't know why it would do that. Anyone have any ideas? An answer is not 
critical as I am able to finally use KDE, Its just that I'd love to know why 
it does that. If anyone knows why this would be please let me know.

TIA
Dave.
