Thanks a lot, Nick, I'll re-emerge xdm just to make sure.  But I'm also
having problems compiling kdebase, where kdm sits :-(

The net.eth2 (don't remember why) was made an exact copy of net.lo, so a
symlink just did the same job.  Config files are ok (I guess) and the init
scripts are untouched.

Tomorrow I'm going to check the config files, though.

Thanks again
