Adding window managers

[Tim Wunder]

I switched to gdm and still have the problem. Which leads me to believe 
that kde2's kdm is not the problem and there's something else going on...
I'll try some things tonight and hopefully get the problem better 
defined. It'm finding it hard to troubleshoot. All I know is that the 
app (the Gnome Wave Cleaner) plays WAV files beautifully when run from 
xfce started in runlevel 3, but doesn't when run from KDE, xfce and 
gnome started by kdm in runlevel 5 and doesn't when run from gnome 
started from gdm in runlevel 5.
The app DID work OK from KDE at one point, but not recently. I'm 
wracking my brain trying to figger out what's changed that could cause 
this problem, but am drawing a blank. I DID install a new CD burner and 
had some device file troubles, but that's all working well now. I 
haven't installed any new libs or anything. I installed eroaster CD 
burnng software to try it out, and the latest KonCD, but I can't imagine 
that being the problem.
I welcome any troubleshooting suggestions that come to mind ;-)
