Changing Desktop Environment from XFCE to KDE
When I installed Slackware, I chose the default desktop as XFCE. Now when I login to Slackware and type 'startx', it brings up an XFCE environment without any desktop manager.
I installed the KDE packages and when I type 'startkde' from the bash shell outside of XFCE, there is an error with the X display. However, when I type 'startkde' from terminal inside XFCE, the loading screen for KDE appears and then after a moment, both panels are running simultaneously. How can I choose which session I want to use from Slackware? Ideally, I'd have 'startxfce' and 'startkde' at my disposal. Also, I never knew about tabbed window (tbw) until I installed Slack and I'm curious about it. My big question is how can I choose my session. Thanks for the help! |
try to run 'xwmconfig' from terminal and choose the default window manager. no need to run as 'su'.

If you type

startx /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.xfce |
