Then I found, on Gnome's System menu if I recall correctly, an applet that

I've been a KDE user ever since.

The package is called 'switchdesk'.

You can also change the system-wide default by doing this (as root):

echo KDE > /etc/sysconfig/desktop

or

echo GNOME > /etc/sysconfig/desktop

Hmmmm, crap.  That isn't working.  Either one.  I installed switchdesk
and I select KDE but no matter what I always get Gnome and
Enlightenment.  I also tried doing the above as root - same thing. :(
Oh well, I'll keep trying.  Gotta get sshd installed right now.

(...) Ok. Screw that and edit your ~/.xsession file. (You may not have one yet...) It should say something like: exec startkde Or, if you're using ssh-agent (which is pretty cool): exec ssh-agent startkde (...) I highly recommend OpenSSH: (URL). (25 years ago, 4-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
