Description KevinGPO 2004-12-12 14:15:47 UTC

Description of problem:

When a user (eg. root) doesn't have the files .dmrc .XClients
.XClients-default in his home directory - and at login when he choses
KDE & a different language and accepts the request for KDE & language
to be default - this does not get set.

GNOME!!

Other than the worrying bit about logging in as root (eek...) this sounds a lot
like bug #133923
