1. as root, at a shell type # SuSEconfig, 2. restart X (not sure how to do this without rebooting the machine. anyone ?)
I took Thinkers advice as I read it first and ran SuSEconfig , rebooted and that solved my problem. Thank you. I was surprised (and more that a bit embarassed by my dumb question) that it was as easy as that. I still don't understand all the things that SuSEconfig does (or can do)... I was more expecting the annswer to be the either : the one given by Franklin Maurer given by In kde > control center > system > login manager > sessions (must use admin mode). Or the one given by Ben : To use them you just have to choose gnome2 from the GUI login or you can change the line in /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager from DEFAULT_WM="kde" to DEFAULT_WM="gnome". ################################ That being said James' version of GNOME is really cool. Better yet, Evolution and Mozilla (2 of my favourite apps) seem to run a lot faster. I am going to run this UI for awhile and check it out. It seems a lot faster than kde. Thank you usr-local-bin ################################ I have 2 more questions if I may.... Question #1 Is there a command or way to add a "SHOW DESKTOP" button to the upper control bar strip? Question #2 How do I go about adding Galeon? When I tried using APT linux:~ # apt-get install galeon Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed.
