Brenden, I had the same problem and traced it down to the following file: /etc/sysconfig/desktop The following is what is contained in the file. DESKTOP=KDE DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE I did a little tracing of the startup process and found that to start X the folowing script is run: /etc/X11/prefdm which contains logic to check for the existence of /etc/sysconfig/desktop and executes it if it exists. Once the variables are set, the script then uses those variables to control how X is started. Check this file to see what your system has. If it is not the same, try changing it and see if that does the trick.

The login widget still ran Gnome in stead of KDE. I'm still tracking down exactly what needs to be done (I'm busy with other stuff), but if this doesn't work for you, it might be a problem with Red Hat and not just your system. -- rm -rf /bin/laden Do it now and often! -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
