A few more data points: 1) On my lone Caldera box, i'm still using the 1.x version of KDM, and it allows me to use the latest stable XFCE without a problem 2) On my 2 RedHat boxes, I use GDM, and it also allows me to use XFCE without a problem.
This suggests that the 2.x version of KDM is the problem. Can't say i'm too surprised. --- Tim Wunder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Myles Green wrote: > <snip> > > > > Switching from KDM to using GDM as a graphical login > > > > Open the file /etc/sysconfig/desktop in your favorite editor and > change > > DESKTOP="KDE" to read DESKTOP="GNOME", then restart X and you should > be > > looking at GDM - select XFce from the menu after entering your > username > > but before you add your password (in case you're like me and > habitually > > hit enter as soon as the password is there ;-) and you're good to > go. > > > > OK, but what REALLY hapens?
