You cannot run the Gnome desktop from within KDE. You must select to run it separately when you log in. At least, I think that's what you're trying to do...

what do u want to do

open gnome??

open kde??

open konqueror??

u can only run one desktop/window manager at a given time so take care of that too

specify ur problem clearly

GNOME is one windowmanager (OK, it's technically a Desktop Environment).
KDE is another (also a DE).
You can only run one at a time.
You can, however, run KDE apps in GNOME and vice versa just by starting them.

And you should really be in the Newbie forum.

but i can run KDE within the gnome by
#startkde
command where we have two desktops how is that?

I think you are misunderstanding what you are actually running. It's possible you are using GDM to log into KDE or something...

But you cannot have two window managers (desktop environments) running at once. When you are at your login screen, select GNOME and you will use the GNOME wm instead of KDE.

why would anyone want to run 2 desktops on top of each other anyways? you can only use one of them which is the last one loaded.

common sense mate. try it sometime.
