Re: [SLE] How do I setup Gnome on SuSE?

I switched to it by letting Ximian (formerly helixcode) Gnome switch it
for me during the installation process:

http://www.ximian.com/

However after I did that I couldn't choose any other type of desktop
manager (besides failsafe and gnome). Then after I rebooted it told me
that the gdm directory wasn't owned by the correct group. It's group
was set to "shadow". And after I reboot again the gdm directory is
reowned by shadow group. I gave up and started using kdm (login
manager) against my will.


Any help,
Dannie
