When you boot, do you get a graphical login screen? Is there a session icon or menu item? If there is, you should be able to choose a KDE "session". > 3.

If you're using *emacs (or *vi*) and a command-line compiler, it doesn't really matter -- except that one of the lightweight window managers, as opposed to heavyweight desktops, might leave you more available RAM.

About a year ago, before I learned about selecting a session at the login screen, I did exactly the same thing. I just switched back to KDE (3.3.1), and I'm finding I like it just a little better than GNOME (2.6). I'm going to try GNOME 2.8 from unstable Real Soon Now. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
