Enable KDE 3.1 for Users

I just finished up compiling KDE 3.1. It works fine as long as I am logged in as root. How do I go about giving my user accounts the ability to use the new window manager?

I'm using red hat 8.0

Do they boot to runlevel 3 or 5? If they boot to runlevel 3 and startx to the window manager you can create a .xinitrc file in their home directories. Then add the following line to the .xinitrc file:

exec startkde

When the users type startx it will go to KDE.
