edit your .xinitrc to startkde instead of exec enlightenment.

heres my .xinitrc :
__________________________________________________
#exec startkde #for kde

# Enlightenment inserted Execution string here
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/enlightenment

#exec gnome-session #for gnome

# Enlightenment inserted Execution string here
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/enlightenment

#exec wmaker #for windowmaker

# Enlightenment inserted Execution string here
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/enlightenment

exec enlightenment #for enlightenment
#exec blackbox #for blackbox

# Enlightenment inserted Execution string here
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/enlightenment

which part would you be talking about? seems like an awful lot of enlightenment entries in there. ?

Make it look like this:

exec startkde #for kde

Unless you want to keep all that other stuff, but it's not necessary. Just make sure every line but the above line starts with a #

sorry im kind of a tard, but i DO have that line at the top.
which line should be edited and where? thanx for the patience and for holding my hand. hehe. j/k

No you don't, that line is commented (a '#' mark means 'ignore the rest of this line').

Make the whole file look like this, you'll be fine:

exec startkde

From the looks of your file as it is now, you're starting enlightenment 4 times. I can't imagine why you'd want to do that, but I think some script edited that file for you, and screwed up a bit.

What you want to do is comment the lines that start enlightenment, and uncomment the first line that starts kde.

The easiest way to do this is to delete everything inside the file, then add what I said in my last post.
