I bring up gnome with startx; KDE with kdm. However, if I try to login to /home/admin wth xdm, the mouse acts strange. It jerks, moves slowly, then rapidly. My admin login uses ctwm, which I've grown used to; ctwm assumes some inteligence of the user while the others seem too GUI orientated. So:: any X11/wm wizards out there know what might be happening? Is there a 'default' mouse settting for gnome/kde? and how do I get backto it? thanks for any clues, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
