Thank you. I will try that when i get home. But i was wondering if there is any other "themes" to pick from or is it just the "flower" (which i'm sure it's not)? And if i comment out that line, will the KDM login screen come up? I still need to have a login for our network and not go right into a user's account. Regardless, i'll work on it. Thanks for the time!
PS - I know this is off topic, but i guess it still deals with my installation. How do i get more than 1 mozilla session open? Every time i open another one, it prompts me for a user to use.

If you haven't done it already, you'll want to edit your /etc/inittab and change the default run level to 4.
Then, as Chris H mentioned, you should edit your /etc/rc.d/rc.4 file and just comment out the part that fires up gdm. That'll ensure that kdm will run as your login manager.
In KDE itself if you go to the configuration menu and then "administrative" and select "login manager", it'll let you customize things like user icons and the default logo that displays on the login dialog, and even what the welcome message is and what background image it uses.

Sorry, can't help you on that one. I can't stand Mozilla. I usually use Opera.

Don't try and run mozilla from the icon or typing mozilla in a terminal. Each user or profile can only have one mozilla running. If you want another just open a new window or tab from the existing browser.
I know what you mean. I use the "ctrl-T" keystroke to open another tab. It's the wife that is giving me grief about it. I recently actually got her to drop Windoze XP (i have tried for about a year) and give Linux a try. I'm basically trying to make her happy and stick with it. I know that Mandrake 9.2 will allow more than one session open for Mozilla....y not on Slack? There has to be a setting.
For thos of you who just want to nix the flower try this.
rename /usr/share/gdm/themes/circles/flower.png to something else
then put whatever image you want (i have tux) in the /usr/share/gdm/themes/circles/ folder as flower.png
You can also edit the " circles.xml " to point to the new *.png file. Scroll down to line (approx) 113 and change the file name to what ever you want.
Slackware - it just gets better and better :-)
