Hi Sumeet, I am familiar with the .xinitrc. but I am talking about the *default* xwindow. 4 an example just after installing the RH if u type *startx* from a shell (still there is no .xinitrc) it starts the Gnome & not Kde. the opposite happens in MDK. so I am interested to know about the file which is responsible 4 this *default* desktop. regards > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > Sumeet Madhukar Moghe | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > C/O Mr PK Das, Ghola C Block, | Phone:+ 91 - 33 - 2595 1420 > Opposite Checkpost, Sodepur, | + 91 - 33 - 2565 7575 > Calcutta 700 110 - INDIA | > Download PGP Pub Key http://www.geocities.com/flame_boy_81/pubkey.zip > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Familiarity breeds attempt. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
