When I start a KDE session, nothing starts. Whats wrong?
Make sure you’re not logged in as the same user from another machine. If you are, KDE will refuse to start the second session. You can also check the .xsession-errors file in your home directory. If something refused to start, this file will usually tell you why. It’s usually as simple as a lock file hanging around. 4.10 Q: My windows have no borders or title bars and I can’t move or resize them. A: You don’t have a window manager running. If you’re using XDM to log in to a remote machine, MI/X assumes the remote session will start a window manager. If for some reason, the window manager your remote session tries to start fails, you will need to start one by hand and/or select a new one. There is at least one window manager which will fail to start because MI/X does not support an extension it thinks it can’t live without. 4.11 Q: I’m using a French keyboard and Alt-Gr keyboard sequences don’t work. A: This has been fixed in MI/X 3.0.
