Good day,
Just discovered a new little issue when installing onto a SuSE system. When you install Ximian and select it to start with default system boot (ack, second option after installation...).
1. KDM does not show any Gnome (maybe SuSEconfig moved things around...)
Known issue. GDM will still happily host a kde session.
2. On selecting GDM and booting into Gnome session it starts KDE 2.2.
Is there a script called Gnome in /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions ? Is there a /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions directory?
3. Init 3 and startx gnome with SuSE usually starts gnome, but again KDE
Oh. That explains everything. kde 2.2 is the issue here. SuSE 7.2 ships with kdebase 2.1.1-89. Upgrading to kde 2.2 will break Red Carpet, btw. Red Carpet doesn't know anything about rpm-4.0.3 yet. It will eventually but who can say when? Well I wish we could have warned you about kde 2.2. I dunno if you dare downgrade. Sincerely,
2.2 starts.
Not having had a chance to look more deeply into this I was wondering if you have come across this issue and have any ideas on a fix? If not then I'll try and figure it out and pass laong any hints....Although you might want to take a look at how SuSE uses Gnome, KDE, BlackBox etc...(Not sure on this myself, but with kdm you get a drop down menu to select window amanger, ot start via "startx gnome".)
Many kind regards,
Matthew Johnson
