Desktop Manager for suse


Anyone know of a good desktop manager? I use Enlightenment and KDE primarily... but sometimes I want to just go into KDE without running it on top of E. There is no handy-dandy session button on log in to allow me to switch between the two.... anyone know of one I can install or how to put one there????? Just to make my life easier...

Personally I like Enlightenment... It is lightweight, portable, very configurable and has a very clean desktop. It has some very good functionality and effects that I like. You can check out more info at http://enlightenment.org . You can also run KDE and GNOME on top of it... just pull up a terminal and type kde (for instance) and it will slide into place... close the terminal and it will close out the KDE interface. I like it personally.
