Hi all,

As root, I chose to 'Move existing desktop icons to Nautilus Desktop' while using the KDE window manager. Since then, I can no longer use KDE as root, but I can use it as any other user, or GNOME as root. Every time KDE reaches the first 'Loading the Desktop' it freezes and I have to reboot. How can I undo my change, or fix the problem otherwise (short of reinstalling)?

I removed the diretory .kde under /root which solved my login problem with root using KDE.

Thanks.
