Same thing here about booting up and logging in, but here I don't use a=20
*DM at all, preferring a text-based login, and running startx (with /etc/
X11/Xclients having a single "exec startkde" line) from my logged-in user=
=20
if I want to go to X/kde/plasma.

So no worries about *DM at all.  I just login at the text prompt=20
regardless of whether I'm headed for X or not, and startx just as if it=20
was any other app I wanted to run at the text prompt. =3D:^)
