I have just used Red Carpet to upgrade Evolution to the latest Beta
version (which fixed my "not removing deleted emails on exit problem)
but it also added the Ximian Gnome desktop and now the default Login
Manager is the Ximian Gnome version.
I really liked the KDE Login Manager as it could be set up to show
users, default to last user and focus on the password box.
I think I can get it back to use the KDE version by editing the file
/etc/X11/prefdm (see it below) but I wondered if someone more confident
than me can advise what I should do?
Thanks, Robert
PS As a "newbie" and a GUI preferer, I found the Red Carpet prgramme to
be very good for updates.
Here is the contents of /etc/X11/prefdm........
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
# We need to source this so that the login screens get translated
. /etc/profile.d/lang.sh
# Run preferred X display manager
# Try autologin first, if wanted...
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/autologin -a -x /usr/sbin/autologin ]; then
if /usr/sbin/autologin; then
exit 0
fi
# If autologin fails (bad permissions, etc.), we get here -
# time to start a real display manager.
