Anyone know if there is a (esay) way to stop kwm from restarting KDE when either "Logout" is chosen or during a [CTRL]-[Backspace] command?

You mean... stop KDM? My Kwm doesn't restart when I logout.

kdm is basically a daemon that will redisplay the login screen after you exit your kde session. If you want to kill it, you can switch to a console window using Ctrl-Alt-Fn, where n=1,2...6 and then do:
Code:

/etc/init.d/xdm stop

assuming that you have set up your /etc/rc.conf correctly. If you started kdm by hand, you can do:
Code:

start-stop-daemon -K --name kdm

or
Code:

killall -15 kdm

If you don't want to have the kdm screen when you logout, you may not want to use kdm. Use startx instead.

Ahh...thanks.

Manually killing the daemon is what I've been doing (I tend to go back an forth to console quite a bit) and I ...I didn't even think of trying to use "startx" instead.

I'll give that a shot.
