Hi, May I know how do I launch KDE desktop environment from the terminal/command line of a regular user? Is it "exec startkde"? If not, please advise. I am currently using the GNOME desktop environment and I launch it by executing "startx" on the command line. I want GNOME to be my default desktop environment but launch KDE desktop environment whenever necessary. How do I go about launching KDE from the command line manually? Thank you very much for your kind assistance. -- Yours sincerely, Singapore Citizen Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) åæé Dip(Mechatronics) BEng(Hons)(Mechanical Engineering) Singapore Identity Card No.: S78*6*2*H Location: Bedok Reservoir Road, Singapore ZIP: 470103 Mobile Phone (Starhub Pre-paid): +65-8369-2618 Windows Live Messenger: teoenming-at-hotmail.com My Youtube videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/enmingteo Alma Maters: [1] Singapore Polytechnic (Graduated 1998) [2] National University of Singapore (Graduated 2006) My Open Letter (Plea for Medical Help/Assistance) to World Leaders (Updated 28 August 2010):- http://lists.mcs.anl.gov/pipermail/mpich-discuss/2010-August/007811.html http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2010-August/295952.html http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-user/msg_f6a341d9623fda17880159b137c07335.xml Photograph of Singapore Citizen Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) åæé #1: http://i.imgur.com/M1FNX.jpg Photograph of Singapore Citizen Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) åæé #2: http://i51.tinypic.com/11u9irm.jpg Photograph of Singapore Citizen Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) åæé #3: http://www.imagevimage.com/images/Singapore_Citizen_Mr._Teo_En_Ming_%28Zhang_Enming%29.jpg Photograph of Singapore Citizen Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) åæé #4: http://www.merrypic.com/files/o397beqo7qw8wky5rjno.jpg Photograph of Singapore Citizen Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) åæé #5: http://piczasso.com/i/yicuz.jpg Photograph of Singapore Citizen Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) åæé #6: http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/1b553b21ae.jpg ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
