 logout/loginI almost never logout. But for those very few times I do, when I log back in the window decorations and desktop theme etc. are completely changed (everything is practically black and the icons are very small) basically unusable. But if I restart everthing is back to normal. Any ideas?

Re: logout/login You've messed up your settings in System Settings/Startup & Shutdown/Session Management
Set 'On Login' to Restore previous session. Then when you Logout and Login it should be as you remember things to be. You can also set this to a manually saved session or an empty session. But I think the one I gave you will be the correct one to fix your problem. _________________ "There is no "slippery slope" toward loss of liberties, only a long staircase where each step downward must first be tolerated by the American people and their leaders."

Re: logout/login
Ok I checked. But Restore Previous Session was already activated. One thing...the first time I logout then back in it changes but if I again logout then back in it's still the unusable DE. I must reboot to get back my DE. _________________ Ron Mepis 11 - 64 bit KDE 4.7.4 Nvidia GeForce 9800GT Vista |

Re: logout/login I see the same problem now and then, if I understand you correctly. What I do is logout, use the Menu pull-down over on the right to select Restart X (or whatever the exact words are), and then the login screen comes in normal as does the desktop itself.
Is that what you meant? _________________ A Wiki only works when many eyes are on it. 32bit, 2.6.36-1-mepis-pae, KDE 4.6.5, AMD Phenom 9650 Quad-Core, Dell SP2309W with integrated webcam, Nvidia GeForce 6150SE, 4 GB DDR2 |

Re: logout/login Great! It would be even better if I knew what causes it...
