Vernback in mdk 6.0 or 6.1, it was in one of the menus. 
It's still there in mdk 7.0 but is no longer in any of the the
default menus for some reason.

Vern,

Look for Desktop Switching Tool. If you can't find it, just
install the RPM again. It will let you switch desktops.

[expert] I want my KDE!

2000-03-13 Thread vern

Hello All,
 I am still stumblimg around in X looking at
all the desktops, window managers, and all the neat
gadgets there are!  I ventured into the Gnome area
a couple of days ago and now it's my default desktop.
Not that I don't like Gnome it's just that I don't
understand it!!  I've spent hours reading and looking
at Gnome, but for raw functionally I perfer KDE for
right now at least.  So how do I regain  KDE as my
default startup desktop? I can still reach KDE through
Gnome but would like to go there directly. Another thing
is KDE won't let me logout, I have to Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
to leave the X environment, I also get an xauthorty state-
ment on startx that I used to not get.  I'll bet all this
is related somehow!
