RE: [SLE] Changing Window Managers

There is nothing at the bottom left (or anywhere else on the screen) except the login fields and a message window. I tried left and right clicking at various places to no avail.

It doesn't look like he is using kdm as his display manager. Enter YAST, System, etc/sysconfig Editor, scroll down to Desktop - Display Manager and see if KDM is loading. There should be several selections, console (my choice since I don't use X), kdm, gdm (gnome), xdm & wdm. Let us know what is there. Cheers, ~James
