Hmmm, on my system that file puts 'KDE' in the list of desktop environments available in [xgk]dm. I'd recommend checking the file permissions for /usr/share/xsessions/kde.desktop. It would also be nice to know which desktop manager is being used for your run-level (xdm/gdm/kdm). 'ps -ef' will give you a list of programs currently running. One of them should be your desktop manager. I'm also CC'ing this to the list in hopes that someone will know better. :) > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Chris Largret" <largret@xxxxxxxxx> > To: "Jesse" <jlc@xxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Friday, July 07, 2006 5:13 PM > Subject: Re: How to make KDE default windows manager? > > > > On Fri, 2006-07-07 at 14:10 -0400, Jesse wrote: > >> I installed kde using the apt-get utility, however, I want to run it as > >> my > >> default windows manager.
