Thanks, Actually I have thought of this solution but I have an other line in the desktop file: 'DESKTOP=icewm' but with this command it would be overwritten. So I have a nice script to check the desktop file and put the PREFERRED thing into it if this line would not exist, and this script would go to the %post part. I was only curious whether there is any other solution. Thanks again!
