This is what I normally do on FC2. create a mythtv desktop session: cat > /usr/share/xsessions/mythtv.desktop [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Type=XSession Exec=/usr/local/bin/mfeinit Name=MythTV
ctrl-D chmod +x /usr/share/xsessions/mythtv.desktop cp /usr/share/xsessions/mythtv.desktop /usr/share/gdm/BuiltInSessions/default.desktop After that your default session should be mythtv, its probably not the best way of doing it but it seems to work. - Damon > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:mythtv-users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Phill Edwards > Sent: Wednesday, 8 December 2004 10:53 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [mythtv-users] Replacing KDE with Ratpoison > > I've been trying to replace KDE with Ratpoison, but KDE seems to have an > extremely strong will to live and no matter what I do I can't get any > other > window manager to start up.
