thanks for the info. as soon as I get a chance, I will test it out. It is the last line in the script and it says something like:

"blah blah.. xsession start"

I'm not where I can see the line right now... anyway, this is where I take it I change to something like:

/usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon?

Thanks for your assistance - I'll give it a shot asap.
