    Hi All,

    Just installed SuSE 9.3 on a PIII 866, 384 MB RAM, Samsung 19" LCD
    panel. The installation hiccuped at first, after the initial
    installation screens the video looked like I needed a horizontal
    adjust scroll wheel on the back of the monitor like in the old B/W TV
    days. Couldn't read anything, so restarted the installation in text
    mode.

    I set the video display to a safe 1024 x 768, tested it, and KDE
    started with no problems. My monitor put up a window stating that
    preferred settings are 1280 x 1024, so after installation I changed it
    to the preferred settings. Tested it, no problems with the display,
    everything looked perfect. I downloaded all of the SuSE updates and
    rebooted.

    Upon reboot, the login screen is a plain login window, and after
    logging in I am confronted with ...nothing. A right-mouse click gives
    some options, including an X Term. From there I can type KDE and get
    the normal KDE windows (sort of). Some manipulation gets the menu bar
    back across the bottom. Where can I change this to set KDE as the
    default Windows system upon login?

    TIA,
    2AM

    PS - It's this sort of thing that would drive a Linux NOOB back to
    Redmond (I'm writing this from my XP Pro box).
