Help! I followed PJ's detailed instructions in a followup, and it
doesn't seem to work this way. "startx kde" does not start KDE, it
starts AfterStep, just as does "startx" alone.
Fortunately, the WindowsMaker installation seems to be user specific (do
you have to install all the files in every user's home directory?), so I
can log in as another user and "startx" will start KDE.
Unfortunately, now the root user is forced to use AfterStep.
What I would really like to be able to do is switch between KDE and
AnotherLevel, since that is the default for RedHat and there is so much
documentation out there for RedHat. For example, some books (e.g., Bill
Ball's "Using Linux") tell you how to start with AnotherLever and modify
.xinitrc to run other windows managers and desktops. Starting from KDE,
I am unable to experiment this way.
On the other hand, I really do like having KDE available, which is why I
installed Mandrake!
TIA.
