What file do I edit to make 'switchdesk' see a newly-installed KDE 2??

Post by Guy Parr » Sun, 08 Apr 2001 14:37:54



 Could someone who has installed KDE 2 on a RH 7.0 distro please give
me a little help?  I've gotten all the required rpm's on my HDD
without any hassles, but I've since found 3 differing posts on how to
do the rest to get it to run.
       One says to edit .xinitrc, but of course, RH 7 uses .Xclients
instead.  I would like to do it so I can change from Gnome to KDE
using good ol' Switchdesk at the console(!)...rather than having to
edit a file/s manually every time I want to change managers...
     tia...

** you can use "switchdesk kde" at a graphic screen
OR you can use "switchdesk-helper kde" at a text console.
