Starting KDE...


I ran pkgtool and choose to re-run the installation script that would change your window manager. I choose to start KDE instead of GNOME but when I start X again, GNOME still starts. I know there is a file that has the command to start the window manager in it (i.e. the one that needs startkde in it) but I can't remember the name of it. I thought it was xinitrc but that file doesn't exist. What is the file that I'm looking for or what am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Note: I do have the KDE packages installed.
