This is the display manager - I don't like Mandrake's new one. But you 
can change to KDM/GDM  login manager.

You do know about su/sudo ?

Yes (and it's nasty!) but you can change this option in KDE Control centre.

?? Do you mean Ctrl-Alt-Fx, or virtual desktops?


I'll add your point about the mouse, and the login manager to the webpage.

Best wishes
