Check .xinitrc in your home dir - the last line probably says "exec xfce". Change this to "exec kde". If you want to avoid this type of silliness, set this instead to "exec $WINDOWMANAGER" and set your windowmanger in a script. I start xfce with a script called xfc which goes like : #!/bin/sh declare -x WINDOWMANAGER="/usr/X11R6/bin/xfwm" startx --16bpp imilarly, I start kde with script xkde: #!/bin/sh declare -x WINDOWMANAGER="/usr/X11R6/bin/kde" startx --16bpp Just create scripts for each WM you want to run, make them executable (chmod 711) and put them in /usr/bin or into each user's home dir if you don't want public access.
