Thank you. I modified the /etc/X11/Xclients script to include this and startx now works wonderfully for me. Sorry it took so long to say so -- stuff happens in life. The /etc/sysconfig/desktop script on Fedora is an optional way to specify which of the possible installed DEs should be used. It really wasn't relevant to my question and I simply misspoke. However, I did need to set it to "TDE" to avoid starting Fedora's KDE which is also installed. My revised Xclients is available on request. But having KDE 5 installed before installing TDE seems to resulted in some confusion. The DE startup splash screen, for example, says it is starting Plasma by KDE. Once started, it does appear to actually be TDE. But some parts of TDE don't work as expected. For example, the TDE Control Center doesn't start if selected from the start menu. Nothing at all happens. Starting kcontrol from a shell does start what appears to be the program but nothing in it works. On exit, the shell reports, "WARNING: No TDE menu group with X-TDE-BaseGroup=settings found | Defaulting to Settings/". I have installed all of TDE itself but none of its applications. -- Dave Close, Compata, Irvine CA "Some subjects are so serious that dave@xxxxxxxxxxx, +1 714 434 7359 one can only joke about them." dhclose@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Niels Bohr ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
