That method does not work to find it -- it returns this thread.
And no way to go to another matching thread.
I have the group on my Mozilla email so I searched for you as sender and
found the "kde-start no longer working" thread and the answer you were
referencing (too bad Mozilla email does not let you search the body of
usenet messages - it does with regular email).

So I made the changes, editing both files with joe, and got the same
results.

Before the change, in text mode, I did
# startx > startx.prob
and then exited using the menu

startx.prob contains the following:

xauth: (stdin):1: bad "add" command line
xauth: (stdin):2: bad "add" command line
xauth: (stdin):3: bad "add" command line

/etc/X11/Xim:  checking wether an input method should be started
INPUT_METHOD is not set or empty (no user selected input)
Trying to start a default input method for the local en_US.UTF-8
There is not default input method
at this point I exited.  This is not exactly verbatum.  I had to hand 
type it in here.
Everything I think relevent is here.
After the change I did the same procedure and the output file differed 
only in the time it was done.
I then went to yast to edit the files and found two places in each where 
it needed changing (I confirmed later that they were only on line 9 of 
each).  Changing it there, and doing the startx > ... gave me the same 
results.
So now, I'm going to reboot it and see what happens.
Thanks, but I may be back again.
John
