First of all, you can easily run gnome from kdm and kde from gdm. It's all a matter of putting the right session (and it is really not that difficult). Anyway, check your distro's settings. In a proper system both "gnome" and "kde" should call some standard X init scriptthat does some extra work (/etc/X11/Xsession , IIRC). Have a look there. I believe it calls some user script, like .xinitrc or .Xclients . > 2) when I ste LC_CTYPE =he_IL, all gnome programs use a really ugly font > which I could not change nor identify. it is a font which does not look good > scaled. how do I change it? /etc/gtk/gtkrc.he or ~/.gtkrc , I believe. > 3) I need also recomendations for a good ppp dialer (something like kppp, > which has logging), and a good mail client which at leat can read hebrew. I'm not sure about a ppp dialer. pine is a nice mailer, and I manage to read hebrew nicely with it (except UTF8, for the moment). You can either run it in a bidirectional terminal (patched xterm, or 'biditext xterm'). There is also mozilla, of course. You can also try your standard-gnome-mailer (e.g. balsa) under biditext (at least for reading messages). -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
