How do i get rid of that annoying desktop wizard that comes up when i start kde3. i tried removing the /opt/kde3/bin/kpersonalizer file, but then kde3 stalled when booting.

it will only appear the first time you run KDE3

Whaaaat, it appears EVERY time i run kde3, i did a search on google and it is a common problem. I tried the suggestion that was on google ( edit the ~/kde3/config/kpersonalizerrc and added this: [General]
FirstLogon=false

But it still comes up ???

hrmm I take it that you're using the RH cds I sent you, and I have KDE3 running on Mandrake and Gentoo without that problem one might assume that's it's a rare RH problem...

My Mandrake install doesn't even have that file....

Seems like its a problem with the way some distro's package KDE3, however a possible solution is listed here...

definitely a problem with ur distribution

i've installed KDE myself so many times now i've lost count and this has never happened to me

On my SuSE 8.0 system, this does not happen.

O.K. fixed it, what you have to do is edit the startkde script, and point it to "kdehome=$KDEHOME", as it is the scripts points to the `/.kde3 dir. Once i had edited startkde, No More wizard.

Actually, you should edit kpersonalizerrc like this:
[General]
FirstLogin=false
