And it will default for that user from that login on. It is interesting that users used to some other operating systems, or old xdm style login, have hard time finding that KDE Login Manager (kdm) is configurable on the fly, no need to fiddle with some well hidden setting. Probable reason is that the menus are on the left bottom without any visual clue that is not just system message, and it is right in the place where people can expect system messages, instead on the top left like 99.99% of other graphic applications where people can come on idea to click on them. (and that is very likely because one well known operating system has menu left bottom, although with a visual clue that is something that one can click on :-) -- Regards Rajko, openSUSE Wiki Team: http://en.opensuse.org/Wiki_Team People of openSUSE: http://en.opensuse.org/People_of_openSUSE/About -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Stan! When you have your session choices from the kdm greeter, do NOT select the enlightenment (E16) with any 'kde' or 'gnome' next to it. Just select the 'E16' entry and you will be good to go. Also know that you start E16 with the 'starte16' command, but you need an X server running. Simple enough, just edit you ~/.xinitrc and put: exec starte16 as the next to the last line and comment out the 'exec So the last part of your .xinitrc will look like this: # # finally start the window manager # unset WINDOW_MANAGER STARTUP #exec $WINDOWMANAGER # default wm #exec enlightenment_start # enlightenment DR17 (E17) #exec /opt/kde3/bin/startkde # kde3 #exec /usr/bin/startkde # kde4 #exec /usr/bin/startfluxbox # fluxbox #exec /usr/bin/openbox # openbox exec starte16 # E16 (currently active wm) # call failsafe exit 0 Then you can just 'startx' from the command line and you will get your X session created and E16 will start ;-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
