I have the same problem - ever since upgrading to Xfree 4.01 (on 6.4) I have not been able to use the menu on the graphical login screen to start any other window managers. The only way I can do it is to use the console login, and then type: WINDOWMANAGER=gnome startx This doesn't really answer your question, but it is a workaround at least.....:) Mike -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Cleary UNIX Qualification and Commands Data General, a Division of EMC2 62 T.W.

To remind anyone who's forgotten, as I had, an easy way to then get the option of a kde2 session from the graphical login manager is to start kde1, go to the control centre, applications, login manager, sessions, and add a new session type kde2. Next time you come to the login manager, you get the choice of kde2 as well.
Does anyone know how to make this work after installing xfree 4.x I'm not able to select any thing other than kde. No kde2 no gnome no enlightenment no nothin but kde after upgrading from x3.3.6 to x4.0/x4.01 using SuSE 6.4. All this works fine on my disc that still has x3.3.6 on it. I'm able to select kde2, kde1, gnome, whatever with x3.3.6. I know of a few people that have the same problem so I don't think it's Operator error. ?????????????? -- Mark Hounschell dmarkh@cfl.rr.com -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
