Solaris comes with 2 desktop environments-CDE and Open Windows(I think I
got this one right,didn't use Solaris for almost 2 years now)). KDE
kinnda looks like CDE .The other one from Solaris looks like the Win
3.11 interface.By your description
I think you were using KDE and now you have a problem starting KDE.I've
seen
reports of problems with KDE in woody ,but since I haven't got yet to
install
woody ,I using kde2 in hail and it works.Your best bet would be to
subscribe to
debian-kde mailing list since now your system is basically woody and ask
there.
Sorry ,can't be of more help if I don't run woody yet.
