Dear all,

after removing kdepim and other stuff, kde updates got
through :), however, I am still unable to login to KDE

because startx defaults to GNOME, even though KDE was
set as the one :(

startkde is not an alternative to startx

Do you have a problem logging via kdm, gdm or xdm?

_I_ would do so.

What I have done when I found myself running twm (there is very little one can do inside twm, except start xterm), is this:
1. killall two.
At this point window decorations (title bar, borders etc) vanish.
2. startkde

An alternative that works (AFAIK) only on RH systems is to login to whatever, then run switchdesk

so if startx gets you into gnome, run switchdesk to choose something else, then logout and try again.
