Re: [gentoo-user] Strangeness with KDE 3.4

[Shawn Singh]

Thanks Holly. The user can login from the console. The user's icon doesn't
show in the list of users. Come to think of it, neither does my user show in
the list. I can key in my username and password to authenticate, so I
suspect (that since the other user can login from the console) she'll be
able to do likewise....

I guess the correct question to have asked is why won't my user's show up in
the list of users?

Thanks for the input.
