This is EXACTLY what it turned out to be.... twm had an Xterm window open... boy, was I really in trouble when I closed that window and I just had a blank slate with NOTHING on it.... eventually figured out that you hold down the LEFT mouse button instead of the right one and I was able to get the xterm window back. Once I had that back, I tried startkde and BAM, kde started up and ran just fine.... Thanks again for the help. I am going to stay with SSH for a bit longer at the command line because there is so much more to learn before I dumb down to a GUI..... but I guess learning to use the Unix GUIs is learning, too :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
