[SLE] KDE 1.1.2 & KDE 2 (1.94)

I installed the KDE 1.94 rpms for SuSE 6.4 and was trying to follow
the instructions for "Running KDE 1.1.x and KDE 2.0 on the same
machine", which I got from the www.kde.org <http://www.kde.org> site.
When I get to the part "editing Xsession to launch kde2" it gets a little
confusing. For SuSE it says:
- - - - - - - -
On SuSE, Xsession is located under /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/.
Look for this in the file:
XSESSION_IS_UP=yes
export XSESSION_IS_UP
And right after it, add this:
if test "$WINDOWMANAGER" = "kde2"; then
source /opt/kdes/bin/kde2
exec startkde
exit 1
fi
- - - - - - - - -
The problem is, I cannot find "XSESSION_IS_UP=yes" and
"export XSESSION_IS_UP" in any Xsession file. The only
place I found any reference to XSESSION_IS_UP was in an
if statement in the .xinitrc file (I'm pretty sure it was in this
file). And in this it was part of an "if" statement, not in the form
as indicated above.
Does anyone know what to do here? I don't use the graphical
login and basically, I'd like to be able to start KDE2 from the
command line with "startx kde2" or something similar (letting
just plain "startx" still start kde 1.1.2). I'm sure someone has
done something similar to this by now and I would appreciate
any info!
Thanks!
Mike
