Switching back and forth from gnome to kde
 

Hi, I have both Gnome and KDE isntalled. My computer boots to gnome by default. How can I go to KDE? And once in KDE how can I go back to gnome?


Another question, I believe gtk+ is 'from' gnome. Can i run gtk+ apps in kde?


Thanks

If you boot in GUI interface (run level 5), you should have that login screen. Select your window manager from there. But if you use text login (run level 3), type:

switchdesk kde

to use KDE

and:

switchdesk gnome

to use/go back to gnome.

yes you can

Or if you have a file in your home directory called .xinitrc (if you don't you can just make one) you can add
and then take out the # to uncomment which ever one you want to use, save the file, and then use the startx command. And gtk apps will run under kde.

thank you all for your quick replies :)
