Re: Keeping kdm while starting gnome
K - Preferences - System - Login Manager - Sessions enter the name of the gnome executable in the New type line and click Add new. gnome-session is the name for starting a gnome session ah, yes. i thought it was that. :) if you think, that gnome-session is a bad name for a session type (because it's obviously a bit long), you may make a symlink named gnome. btw, i'm playing with idea to provide aliases for session types, so one can name a session type independently of the associated program. does anybody think that this is _really_ useful or is symlink aliasing good enough? best regards -- Hi!

Keeping kdm while starting gnome
Hi All, I have stable potato, with Ivan's KDE. I also have ximian-gnome 1.4 installed, but I did not install gdm, because it conflicts with kdm. I would like to be able to start gnome as well occasionally, from the kdm menu. How can I edit the kdm start menu, and what to put in there to be able to start ximian gnome? (the latter is not kde question, but someone might know, I have no idea how to start gnome from the console either...)
