Hi,

I am using Kubuntu 8.10 b2. Originally my system had Gnome and later I installed KDE4.1 as well.

My problem is, when I boot in KDE, both Gnome and KDE network manager loads. Killing GNome manger makes KDE network manager to disconnect and it would never connect unless Gnome network manager is started.

Also changes I make to startup list is not considered on next boot. Meaning I disabled Empathy from startup and added Kopette is enabled. But always Empathy loads and Kopette is not loading on startup.

I had KDE4.1 and Gnome both in 8.04 and this was never the issue. All this started after I upgraded to 8.10. Any resolution or is it a know bug?

That seams to be Ubuntu-related problem. I am sure more people would be able to give you a meaningful answer on the ubuntu forums. I am not using Ubuntu, but I have an idea what might cause that and how you could overcome the problem.

Take a look at the /etc/xdg/autostart directory and see if there is a gnome-network-manager.desktop (or something like that) there. If there is, add a line "NotShowIn=KDE" to that file. I believe that might solve your problem.

Works for me.
