change from fvwm95 to kde?

1998-08-03 Thread Edward J Young


I installed Debian 2.0 with fvwm95 as the window manager. I'd now like to
use kde. I installed all the packages and am able to run kde, but it seems
to be running on top of fvwm95. 

How can I change the window manager to kde? 

Where is the window manager invoked? 

Thanx in advance. 

Ed

It's on /etc/X11/window-managers.

I tried KDE Beta4 debianized by a KDE developer.  It's quite good but I
have to invoke KDE in /etc/X11/window-managers.

try to edit that file and put:

/usr/X11R6/startkde

on the first line
 
 Thanx in advance.

   Check out /etc/X11/window-managers.  Edit it so that /usr/X11R6/bin/kde is 
the
first one listed.

   If you also run /usr/sbin/switchdm that'll run kdm instead of xdm to start 
X.  The
only real advantage (that I've seen) there is that kdm puts a prettier login 
box on
the screen for you.
