If you've enabled XDMCP, you can login to other computers and have KDE, Gnome or other desktops there. I've even done this to access my home computer from work.
For now KDE wins--it's dead easy to switch to Gnome (or, I suppose, whatever other session is open), just ask it to switch. Whereas from Gnome, from what I can see, you ask to switch user and you're taken to the login screen, where you have to give your login information again, and then click on "no, it's ok thanks, I don't want to log in again I'll just return to the previous session). Takes longer and includes several more steps. 1-0 for KDE, so far. g -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
