Gnome .. ?
 
Hi all,
i have a problem starting gnome .I use KDE as the default window manager.
It is fine when i go :
startx on my console (KDE) but can't run Gnome.

I tried those : startx gnome-session, /usr/bin/gnome-session but get a secreen asking for options .

What should i do to get it running ?


PS i can run all of the Gnome programs under KDE with no problems.


Thank you.

You'll need to edit the script that startx calls to alter which window manager it runs. Under slackware thatd be the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc . Open this file in a text editor and scroll to the bottom, you should see something along these lines

#Start the window manager:
exec kde

replace kde with gnome-session or whatever the commmand to initiate your chosen window manager is.
