Started background process of X as root 2. Switched VTY's and ran the Xsession Result: KDE Ran as expected.... Then as a normal user, left the Xorg process running in background as root. Changed VTY, logged in as a normal user, ran the command, and also with shell tracing. Both times just drops back to command prompt with no the following: <snip> csc01$ sh -x /usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xsession default + session=kde/Xsession + [ -z ] + exec /usr/local/bin/bash /usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xsession default csc01$ <snip> Thanks Kim Attreehelp
