->Your distribution/&UNIX; flavour may have its own setup tools to change this (&eg; <application

-<para
->First, you need to change to the <quote
->xdm runlevel</quote
-> (runlevel 5 on &RedHat; and &SuSE; systems) by editing your <filename
->/etc/inittab</filename
-> file. In the file, you should have a line saying <userinput
->id:3:initdefault:</userinput
->. Change it to <userinput
->id:5:initdefault:</userinput
->. Now, at the end of the file, comment out the following line: <literal
->x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/X11/xdm -nodaemon</literal
-> and replace it with <userinput
->x:5:respawn:<replaceable
->/opt/kde/</replaceable
->bin/kdm -nodaemon</userinput
->. <note
-><para
->The location of &kdm; may differ on your system.</para

-<para
->For changes to take effect immediately, type <command

->.bash_profile</filename
->!</para>
-</question>
-<answer>
-<para
->The login managers<application
->xdm</application
-> and &kdm; do not run a login shell, so <filename
->.profile</filename
->, <filename
->.bash_profile</filename
->, &etc; are not sourced. When the user logs in, <application
->xdm</application
-> runs <command
->Xstartup</command
-> as root and then <command
->Xsession</command
-> as user. So the normal practice is to add statements in <filename
->Xsession</filename
-> to source the user profile. Please edit your <filename
->Xsession</filename
-> and <filename
->.xsession</filename
-> files.</para>

-
-<answer
-><para
->There are many ways to do that. If what you want to do is to run some scripts that would set some environment variables (for example, to start <command
->gpg-agent</command
->, <command
->ssh-agent</command
-> and others), you can put these scripts into <filename class="directory"
->$<envar
->KDEHOME</envar
->/env/</filename
-> and make sure their names end in <literal role="extension"
->.sh</literal
->. $<envar
->KDEHOME</envar
-> is usually a folder named <filename class="directory"
->.kde</filename
-> (note the period at the beginning) in your home folder. If you want scripts to be executed for all &kde; users, you can put them under <filename class="directory"
->$<envar
->KDEDIR</envar
->/env/</filename
->, where $<envar
->KDEDIR</envar
-> is the prefix &kde; was installed to (you can find this out using the command <userinput
-><command
->kde-config</command
-> --prefix</userinput
->).</para>
-<para
->If you wish to start a program after &kde; has started, you may want to use the <filename class="directory"
