[opensuse] Gnome background on KDE desktop
Without changing any settings, or doing any updates, my laptop suddenly displays a Gnome desktop background, instead of KDE which I have always used. When I go to KDE settings->Desktop->Behavior, and select "Show icons on Desktop", it works as expected, and I see my KDE desktop. If I deselect this option however, the Gnome desktop comes back. I don't like icons on my desktop as a rule, so this is a pretty handy option for me. Any ideas?

Try creating a different desktop path for KDE. Open your Personal Settings (Kcontrol) and goto System Administration > Paths. In the 'Desktop Path' field just type in your new path, e.g. /home/username/kDesktop. You will then need to manually recreate a new 'Desktop' folder in your home directory so that Gnome will have the same path that it expects to be present. -- /path/to/Truth -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Almost certainly nautilus is running, probably resumed by session management. Check ksysguard or ps aux's output, and see if it is listed in ~/.kde/share/config/ksmserverrc. If it is, open kcontrol->KDE Components->Session Manager, check "Start with an empty session", logout, login, change to "Restore previous session" and your current session, without nautilus. Or remove the whole [Session: saved at previous logout] group from ksmserverrc. I think there is a setting to tell nautilus to only do file management, but I'm not sure what it is, perhaps understandably.
