Listmates,

Looking at /etc/X11/xinitrc and xinitrc.common, what would be the difference if I set $WINDOWMANAGER to /usr/bin/kde or /usr/bin/startkde ?

The question stems from the vnc session launching some of the kde4 desktop when I only have kde35 installed. I would like to find out how to properly launch the same things as the main desktop. So does that mean setting WINDOWMANAGER="/usr/bin/startkde" in my .xinitrc file, or do I have to set it somewhere else or could I simply set it, export it and restart kde?

I went ahead an added "WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/bin/startkde" to ~/.xinitrc after copying ~/.xinetrc.template to ~/.xinitrc and it works great! You get most of the KDE4 eye-candy running on top of kde 3.5. The best of both worlds so to speak. Note: to get your normal kde3 start menu back, right-click on the start menu button and select it. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
