-<para>How do I set the language used by &tde;?</para>
-</question>
-<answer>
-<para>First ensure the appropriate tde-i18n language package is installed.</para>
-<para>Thereafter there are two ways to set the language &tde; uses in the
-messages it will display:</para>
-<variablelist>
-<varlistentry><term>Using the <application>&tde; Control Center</application></term>
-<listitem><para>Open the <application>&tde; Control Center</application> and select
-<guimenu>Regional &amp; Accessibility</guimenu> then
-<guimenuitem>Country/Region &amp; Language</guimenuitem>. You can select your language and location
-here. If &tde; 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>&tde; Control Center</application> is the preferred way of choosing
-languages in &tde;.</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>

-<question>
-<para>How do I replace the standard text login screen with the
-&tde; login screen?</para>
-</question>
-<answer>
-<note><para>Your &UNIX; distribution might have its own setup tools to
-change this (&eg; <application>YaST</application> on &SuSE; &Linux;). This will
-be the safest way to enable the &tde; login screen. However, if for some reason
-you do not wish to use these tools, the following instructions might be useful.</para></note>
-<para>First, ychange to the <quote>xdm runlevel</quote> (runlevel 5 on
-&RedHat; and &SuSE; systems) by editing your
-<filename>/etc/inittab</filename> file. In the file, there should be
-a line saying <userinput>id:3:initdefault:</userinput>. Change it to
-<userinput>id:5:initdefault:</userinput>. 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/trinity/</replaceable>bin/tdm
--nodaemon</userinput>.
-<note><para>The location of &tdm; might 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>When using &konqueror;, open a &konqueror; window and choose

-<literal>image/gif</literal>), and set the application preference order
-to whatever you want.</para>

-<question>
-<para>&tde; (&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. 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>

-<question><para>How do I run a program at &tde; startup?</para></question>
-<answer><para>There are several ways to do that. If you want to
-run some scripts that set environment variables (for
-example, to start <command>gpg-agent</command>, <command>ssh-agent</command> and others), place the
-scripts into <filename class="directory">$<envar>TDEHOME</envar>/env/</filename>. Make sure their names end in
-<literal role="extension">.sh</literal>. $<envar>TDEHOME</envar> is
-usually a folder named <filename class="directory">.trinity</filename>
-(notice the period at the beginning) in your home
-folder. If you want scripts to be executed for all &tde; users, you can
-put them under <filename class="directory">$<envar>TDEDIR</envar>/env/</filename>, where $<envar>TDEDIR</envar> is the prefix &tde; is installed (you can find this out using the command
-<userinput><command>tde-config --prefix</command></userinput>).</para>
-<para>If you wish to start a program after &tde; 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>

-<listitem><para>Right-click in the window view area and select <menuchoice><guisubmenu>Create New</guisubmenu><guisubmenu>File</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Link to
-Application</guimenuitem>
-</menuchoice></para>
-</listitem>
-<listitem><para>Click on the <guilabel>Application</guilabel> tab in
-the window that appears and enter the name of the command to run in

-<question>
-<para>How can I allow more than one user to be logged in a at a time? Can &tde; do <quote>fast user switching</quote>?</para>
-</question>
-<answer>
-<para>Yes, when starting &tde; through the graphical login mode. When starting &tde;
-from the command line using <filename>startx</filename>, then toggle to a different console
-to login in.</para>
-<para>To enable more than one user to log in at one time on the same
-computer (sometimes referred to as <quote>fast user switching</quote>)
-configure the program that logs you in to allow more than one
-session (or, in &X-Window; terms, <quote>display</quote>) at a time.</para>
-<para>In &tde;, this program is called &tdm; which stands for <quote>&tde;
-Display Manager</quote>. If you are not using &tdm; as your login screen
-then you will need to consult the documentation for the software you are using on how to
-accomplish multiple sessions.</para>
-<para>By default, this will be configured at installation time automatically
-if &tdm; supports virtual terminals on your system (currently Linux only).
-If it was not configured automatically, consult the &tdm; manual, section
-<ulink url="help:/tdm/tdmrc-xservers.html">Specifying permanent &X-Server;s</ulink>.
-After modifying tdmrc, you will have to restart &tdm;; just
-invoke <command>killall -HUP tdm</command>.</para>
