Ah Ha! That explains a lot. since runlevel 4 is set, when you restart slackware will automatically launch sddm, which is the display manager for KDE. Jonathan was probably right at the beginning of this thread since in runlevel 4 all that xinitrc stuff will be ignored.
Ben/Jonathan: I learned something new here.
So for this laptop, ignore xwmconfig and just use the dropdown menu from the bottom-left-hand side of the login screen.
The bottom-left has the KDE, System settings, and Dolphin (network) icons. The KDE icon brings up all the menus and I found nothing in there to change the DE. Which icon should allow me to change the dE?
It *should* remember your setting here.
Time will tell. :-) Thanks, Rich
