I'd like to have KDE on the HD for some of its apps, however I do NOT want to run KDE when logging in. I specifically don't want Kwm and kfm to run at all.
How do I get a different wm to be the default, once I DL kde from SuSE's CD's? My experience with 5.3 is that if kde is there, it defaults to it.
Also, any suggestions to cure this one?
As root, root can only access an X-session via startx, which runs fvwm2. When xdm is run, the users can login, but root can not. (This is a straight 5.3 install without kde. Maybe that's my prob?)

First of all, you should have a .xinitrc-file in your homedirectory. Then, go to /etc and edit the profile-file as follows: Go to the line containing $WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/X11R&/bin/startkde Change startkde to whatever windowmanager you prefer. Ta-daaaaaaaa!
