Dear friends: My thanks to all of you who wrote in with your solutions. The simplest solution, as suggested by one of you, is to delete the .Xclients file in your home directory. This also automatically deletes the .Xclients-default file. When you type startx at the console, you are now automatically taken to KDE (in Mandrake, NOT in Red Hat, of course). Question 1: Why has Mandrake 7.2 chosen to include Gnome (and other window managers) and then has decided to eliminate the bridge to Gnome (and the other window managers), i.e. "switchdesk"? Question 2: Why has Red Hat 7.0 chosen to include KDE and then addee "switchdesk" but with a broken "switchdesk-KDE"? Is this just coincidence or are we seeing the beginning of mutually destructive "distro war"? Am I angry about this? No, I am furious. Are you? Or am I missing something? I would very much like to hear from someone at Mandrake (and RH) about this. Thank you. Benjamin -- Benjamin and Anna Sher Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net [EMAIL PROTECTED]
