Dear Chuck: Right on target! /usr/bin/xfce_remove did it! I then logged into KDE. Then logged out. Then logged into xfce with the command startxfce (instead of startx xfce), then logged out again, and am now writing to you from KDE to thank you. See you soon in XFCE. I am really impressed by XFCE and may want to use it as my default. But how do I then log into other desktops? Thanks so much. Benjamin
