Howdy,
After playing with the Kororaa Xgl Live CD, then with Xorg 7 entering
ebuild testing,
I decided to give Xgl a try.
The xorg 7 upgrade went extremely smooth. Big THANK YOU to those
responsible!
The wiki instructions for installing Xgl worked too.
Then I discovered what gnome-window-decorator does in KDE. Not pretty. :-(
I figured I could live:
* with old fashioned decorations,
* without my background image,
* with my panel stretching across both monitors,
* with windows opening centered on the desktop vs on a display,
* with some brain dead right mouse desktop popup menu.
But I couldn't live with a dead X the next morning. So bye-bye Xgl.
OK, off to the net to see what I could find, which distilled down to use
gnome.
Next gen KDE should have similar features.
Well, I've never really gave gnome a try, so maybe it's not as bad as it
looks. :-)
Installed gnome.
Now what I'd really like is to be able to switch between X+KDE and Xgl+gnome
sessions. I don't really see how to do this with one display manager.
Not sure
how to configure to run multiple display managers. Currently I use xdm
to run
kdm.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Roy
