SWITCHDESK(1) SWITCHDESK(1)

NAME
switchdesk - graphical and text mode interface for choosing desktop
     environment

SYNOPSIS
     switchdesk [desktop name]

DESCRIPTION
switchdesk provides a simple method of choosing between the various desktop environments available under Red Hat Linux, including GNOME, KDE, and FVWM2. If X Windows is running, switchdesk will bring up a dialog box which allows the user to choose between the available desk- tops installed on the system. This dialog follows the appearance of the user�� current desktop as closely as possible. If a desktop name (KDE, GNOME, XFce4, FVWM, WINDOWMAKER) is supplied as an argument, or X
     is not running, switchdesk can be used from the command line.

RETURN CODES
     switchdesk returns 0 on success, 1 on error.

FILES
:
~/.Xclients, ~/.Xclients-default
                         Stores the currently selected desktop.
