-<question>
-<para>How do I set the language used by &kde;?</para>
-</question>
-
-<answer>
-<para>There are two ways to set the language &kde; uses in the messages it will display:</para>
-
-<variablelist>
-<varlistentry><term>Using the <application>&kde; Control Centre</application></term>
-<listitem><para>Fire up the <application>&kde; Control Centre</application> and select <guimenu>Regional &amp; Accessibility</guimenu> followed by <guimenuitem>Country/Region &amp; Language</guimenuitem>. You can select your language and location here. If &kde; cannot find a translation in the first language chosen, it will fall back on the default language. This is usually (American) English by default.</para>
-<note><para>Using the <application>&kde; Control Centre</application> is the preferred way of choosing languages in &kde;.</para></note></listitem>
-</varlistentry>
-<varlistentry><term>Using the <envar>LANG</envar> environment variable</term>
-<listitem><para>The second method uses the standard locale setting on your system. To change the language, simply set the environment variable <envar>LANG</envar> accordingly. For example, if your shell is <application>bash</application>, execute <userinput><command>export</command> <envar>LANG</envar>=de</userinput> to set German as the language used.</para></listitem>

-<para>Is there any keyboard switcher for international keyboards for &kde;?</para>
-</question>

-<question>
-<para>How do I replace the standard text login screen with the &kde; login screen?</para>
-</question>
-<answer>
-<note><para>Your distribution/&UNIX; flavour may have its own setup tools to change this (&eg; <application>YaST</application> on &SuSE; &Linux;). This will be the safest way to enable the &kde; login screen. However, if for some reason you do not wish to use these tools, the following instructions may be useful.</para></note>
-<para>First, you need to change to the <quote>xdm runlevel</quote> (runlevel 5 on &RedHat; and &SuSE; systems) by editing your <filename>/etc/inittab</filename> file. In the file, you should have a line saying <userinput>id:3:initdefault:</userinput>. Change it to <userinput>id:5:initdefault:</userinput>. Now, at the end of the file, comment out the following line: <literal>x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/X11/xdm -nodaemon</literal> and replace it with <userinput>x:5:respawn:<replaceable>/opt/kde/</replaceable>bin/tdm -nodaemon</userinput>. <note><para>The location of &tdm; may differ on your system.</para></note></para>
-<para>For changes to take effect immediately, type <command>init 5</command> (for &RedHat; systems) at the shell prompt. <caution><para>It is risky to initiate a graphical login without checking beforehand whether it works. If it fails to work, you would be in for a hard time getting back....</para></caution></para>
-</answer>
-<answer>
-<para>For FreeBSD, you should edit the file <filename>/etc/ttys</filename> and change one of the lines that look like <programlisting>ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure</programlisting> to instead say <userinput>ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/tdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure</userinput>.</para>

-<para>I would like to click the &LMB; anywhere on the desktop and have the <guimenu>K</guimenu> menu displayed.</para>
-</question>
-<answer>
-<para>Open the <application>&kde; Control Centre</application> and choose <menuchoice><guisubmenu>Desktop</guisubmenu> <guisubmenu>Behaviour</guisubmenu></menuchoice>. You can now choose the behaviour of mouse clicks on the desktop. To have the <guimenu>K</guimenu> menu open from a single &LMB; click, change the entry labelled <guilabel>Left button</guilabel> to say <guilabel>Application Menu</guilabel>.</para>

-<para>How do I change &MIME; Types?</para>
-</question>
-<answer>
-<para>If you are using &konqueror;, do this instead: first, open a &konqueror; window and choose <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Configure Konqueror</guimenuitem></menuchoice>, then <guilabel>File Associations</guilabel>. Find the type you want to change (&eg; <literal>text/english</literal> or <literal>image/gif</literal>), and set the application preference order to whatever you want.</para>

-<question>
-<para>&kde; (&tdm;) does not read my <filename>.bash_profile</filename>!</para>
-</question>
-<answer>
-<para>The login managers<application>xdm</application> and &tdm; do not run a login shell, so <filename>.profile</filename>, <filename>.bash_profile</filename>, &etc; are not sourced. When the user logs in, <application>xdm</application> runs <command>Xstartup</command> as root and then <command>Xsession</command> as user. So the normal practice is to add statements in <filename>Xsession</filename> to source the user profile. Please edit your <filename>Xsession</filename> and <filename>.xsession</filename> files.</para>

-<para>How do I use &TrueType; fonts in &kde;?</para>
-</question>
-<answer>
-
-<para>You need to install &TrueType; font support into your &X-Window; configuration. Please take a look at <ulink url="http://x.themes.org/">x.themes.org</ulink> for the fonts, and <ulink url="http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/jec/programs/xfsft/">xfsft: &TrueType; Font Support For X11</ulink> or <ulink url="http://X-TT.dsl.gr.jp/">X-&TrueType; Server Project Home Page</ulink> for the font servers.</para>
-
-<para>If you have a bunch of &TrueType; fonts from &Microsoft; &Windows;, edit the <filename>XF86Config</filename> file to get the fonts from the font folder. Then just tell &kde; to use these new fonts with the font administrator utility.</para>

-<question><para>How do I run a program at &kde; startup?</para></question>
-
-<answer><para>There are many ways to do that. If what you want to do is to run some scripts that would set some environment variables (for example, to start <command>gpg-agent</command>, <command>ssh-agent</command> and others), you can put these scripts into <filename class="directory">$<envar>TDEHOME</envar>/env/</filename> and make sure their names end in <literal role="extension">.sh</literal>. $<envar>TDEHOME</envar> is usually a folder named <filename class="directory">.kde</filename> (note the period at the beginning) in your home folder. If you want scripts to be executed for all &kde; users, you can put them under <filename class="directory">$<envar>TDEDIR</envar>/env/</filename>, where $<envar>TDEDIR</envar> is the prefix &kde; was installed to (you can find this out using the command <userinput><command>tde-config</command> --prefix</userinput>).</para>
-<para>If you wish to start a program after &kde; has started, you may want to use the <filename class="directory">Autostart</filename> folder. To add entries to the <filename class="directory">Autostart</filename> folder: <orderedlist>
-<listitem><para>Open &konqueror;.</para>
-</listitem>
-<listitem><para>Select <menuchoice><guimenu>Go</guimenu><guimenuitem>Autostart</guimenuitem> </menuchoice> from the menubar.</para>
