Unable to return from Gnome to KDE

cyb3rdawn · 02-05-2009, 07:16 AM

Hi,
I installed Fedora 10, the KDE version recently. I installed Gnome so that I could have both desktop environments, however now Gnome is activated by default and I can't find a way to change to KDE.
I found the switchdesk program, updated it and installed the switchdesk -gui and it's still not working. switchdesk does not report any errors it simply doesn't change anything.
Do you have any suggestions?

As far as I remember, when you boot your system and are about to log in, there must be an option 'session' - There you can choose the session you want to start. It will also ask you whether your choice is only for this particular session or it should be made permanent.

There should be, there was one in the KDE login window but there is no such option now..

offtopic: I used startkde & while in gnome and now i'm running both at the same time

really cool!

You have to choice the user first and than at the bottom of the screen
appears a menu where you can change from kde to Gnome or what ever
