You can type "startx /usr/bin/gnome-session" to get Gnome.
If you want KDE, you can do this: "startx /usr/bin/startkde"
And type "startx /usr/bin/<windowmanager>" to start some window manager,
e.g. "startx /usr/bin/fluxbox".
*That* is what I have been looking for all the time.
Thanks very much!
S.H.
You're welcome. While you can start X that way, I've found it better to
use the session managers (startkde, gnome-session, xfce4-session)
because they give me more of a normal, full-featured desktop environment.
Some WM's don't come with good session managers, so sometimes I have to
create my own, e.g.:
---------~/bin/bb-session----------
#!/bin/sh
bsetroot -solid midnightblue
rxvt -rv -fn 10x10 &
bbkeys &
blackbox
------------end--------------------
And I'd start it this way:
startx ~/bin/bb-session
