Re: [newbie] How do you create shortcuts or links to applications inEnlightenment??

I used to have KDE as my default autoboot for user. I would like to pick and choose my default. I can't reset it back to KDE. There must be some sort of .conf file for this? And, I'm not too crazy about reinstalling the entire Linux OS. Are you using the graphical login manager? If not, try editing .xsession in your home directory to /usr/bin/kde or wherever it is. You might have to edit that file as root, I'm not sure. Jesse -- !! Jesse C. Chang [EMAIL PROTECTED] [___] `|' "I have the simplest tastes. I am always /|\ satisfied with the best." -- Oscar Wilde

Other than having cool looking effects, how the heck to you create shortcuts and view the folders in the directory? Until E 0.17 and EFM come out, you'll have to use another file manager, like GMC, Nautilus, DFM, KFM, etc. Or you can open a terminal window, of course, if you don't mind working at the command line. I'm not sure what you mean by shortcuts, though. You can edit many of the menus by going into ~/.enlightenment and editing any *.menu file with your favorite text editor (vim, pico, etc.). Or if you want desktop icon-type shortcuts, edit the contents of the .gnome-desktop/ folder (ln -s ...) and starting up GMC. You can do the same with KFM, but I forget where the desktop shortcuts are. And I'm too lazy to install DFM - I'd rather just wait for EFM, and use GMC in the meantime. :) If you haven't already, try reading Enlightenment Help. Middle-click on the desktop and it should be in the menu. Jesse -- !! Jesse C. Chang [EMAIL PROTECTED] [___] `|' "I have the simplest tastes. I am always /|\ satisfied with the best." -- Oscar Wilde

I would like to open and/or point to a specific application. By default, Enlightenment has nothing, and you have to go through a maze of questions before you get anything. What happened to autoboot to KDE? How did it Enlightenment set itself as the default graphical virtual desktop? I used to have KDE as my default autoboot for user. I would like to pick and choose my default. I can't reset it back to KDE. There must be some sort of .conf file for this? And, I'm not too crazy about reinstalling the entire Linux OS.
