The following are Desktop/Window Managers: KDE (executable /usr/bin/startkde) GNOME (executable /usr/bin/gnome-session) ICE (executable /usr/bin/icewm) (note the paths may vary on your system) These are Display Managers: KDM [The (K)DE (D)isplay (M)anager ] GDM [The (G)nome (D)isplay (M)anager ] XDM [The X (D)isplay (M)anager ] The display managers responsibility is to give a graphical login box (among other things). It can manage the logins locally or on remote displays. Once you successfully log in the Display Manager runs a Desktop/Window manager that governs the look (GUI) of your X apps. The Display Manager is independent of the Window Manager. When you type 'startx' you are launching X and one of the window manager executables (startkde,gnome-session,icewm) without using KDM,GDM,XDM to first log you in. :) > > That was working fine.
