While I would agree with Jay about adding /usr/X11R6/bin to your PATH environment variable, why not simply create an alias in your .bashrc file: alias startkde='startx /usr/X11R6/bin/kde' alias startwm='startx /usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker' On 5 Aug 2002 at 15:26, Jay Vollmer wrote:

Hello all,
I am using startx command to start X Window System. If i want to start KDE i type:
# startx /usr/X11R6/bin/kde
or when i want windowmaker:
# startx /usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker
Is there a way to start kde by typing startx kde or windowmaker by typing startx wmaker?
Try putting /usr/X11R6/bin in your $PATH
