Re: [gentoo-user] how to start wm from console
If you want kde to be your default wm, then make sure there is a startup script in /etc/X11/Sessions. Probably something like kde-3.1.2. Then in your /etc/rc.conf file set XSESSION=kde-3.1.2 or whatever script you want to be run from the /etc/X11/Sessions dir. Make sure you don't have a .xinitrc in your home dir, because it supercedes all other methods.

Something like this in ~/.xinitrc should do the trick: #!/bin/bash if [ -n "$WINDOWMANAGER" ]; then exec $WINDOWMANAGER else exec startkde fi ... but give the name of the excutable rather then a keyword (startkde, not kde3) and lose the semi-colon. -- David Dorward http://david.us-lot.org/ Redesign in progress: http://stone.thecoreworlds.net/ Microsoft announces IE is dead (so upgrade): http://minutillo.com/steve/weblog/2003/5/30/microsoft-announces-ie-is-dead -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
