Hallo Group Members.
I am using kde 3.5.8 on my fc6.
just when I get KDE login screen (where user puts its login/password), I switch to text console, login as root, then: # export DISPLAY=:.0.0
then: # kdialog --textbox "enter Your text: "
this appears on login screen, and that's what I expect.
But unfortunatelly I cannot get focus to enter some text. clicking on mouse buttons works ok, but I cannot "activate" a line where text is inserted, hence I cannot insert it.
I also run: # fvwm2 &
beforehand, in hope that this is a lack of window manager problem, but it didn't help.
have You got idea on how to do this.
regards, Michal.
ps. to run application at login screen, I created /etc/X0.hosts, with following contents:
localhost.localdomain

What are you trying to do? I suspect that you are using the wrong method for what you are trying to do. One thing to keep in mind is that the screen is controlled by the display manager (xdm, kdm, or gdm.) I am somewhat suprised you were even able to get kdialog to connect to the X server.

maybe.
I have encrypted filesystem, that is put to regular file. This regular file resides in USB pendrive among other "plain" files. This filesystem keeps home directory of my user. So I need to connect my USB pendrive just before logging in. It must be done at fedora login screen. Encryption program asks for password by displaying window with line where I am prompted to put password to. That's why I need focus on additional window that is displayed at login screen.

I think you could put a script in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d to do what you want.
