Using GDM with SuSE and getting it to work right?
Earlier I posted on alt.os.linux.suse about how in the past I couldn't get Yast2 to work graphically if using GDM. As a test (I hadn't done this under SuSE 9.1 yet) I tried it just now. Still doesn't work. Does anyone know how to get this to work right? What libraries need to load to get KDE apps to behave if you don't start with KDM? This whole KDE upgrade and OOo thing has me thinking about ripping out as much of KDE as possible and going to Fluxbox or something. Preston

Fluxbox is pretty cool, especially for weak hardware. But it can't touch KDE for usability. Why did you not want to run KDM? -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

I run gdm and couldn't run YaST because it complained of missing gksu - installing xsu solved that. In general, I would imagine that if kdelibs3 and kdebase3 are installed, kde apps will run under any window manager. Certainly, I have no problems.
