well, not exactly that. It is correct, I have to introduce
a "kde-4.3.0.desktop" file in /opt/kde/share/apps/kdm/sessions ( note
that "kde" is a link to the kde-3.5.10 directory, my original one. I am using
the original kdm also for starting the new kde4 !)
the file "kde-4.3.0" is as follows:
Type= XSession
Exec=/opt/kde-4.3.0/bin/startkde
TryExec=/opt/kde-4.3.0/bin/startkde
Name=Kde-4.3
Now, switching to the kde4 user under a new session type "kde-4.3.0" in the
login-menu does the job !
Thank you again for your explanations, James,
Edgar
