making KDE2 you default window manager

making KDE2 you default window manager

Hi,

I am using Redhat 6.2 - 2.2.16-3 kernel.

I have a couple of questions.

I have qt-2-2-2 compiled and installed in /usr/lib/qt-2-2-2 and I have
altered /etc/ld.conf.so to put qt-2-2-2 as the highest prioty qt.

I would like to do the same thing for kde2 so it uses kde2 over kde1 (I
would still like to keep kde1 on my system) how can I do this ?

also I am about to upgade the kernel to 2.2.18 will kde2 have to be
recompiled again along with qt (another 3 hour job)


static copy of any advice you can give me.

Many thanks,

MD

You will not need to recompile qt and kde.

If you did install kde2 in /opt/kde2 then go into /etc/profile.d and
change the qt and the kde scripts so they set QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-2-2-2
and KDEDIR=/opt/kde2 instead of /usr/lib/qt-2.?.? and /usr

1. Making enlightenment the default window manager

I'd like to try enlightenment but I can't seem to
get it to work.  I've got all of:

enlightenment-0.15.5-100

X11R6 Xserver / distribution
Imlib
Fnlib
freetype
libjpeg
libtiff
libpng
zlib
libungif

installed from rpms and are the appropriate versions.
I've created a dummy account and run enlightenment from
the prompt and it asked if it could modify the appropriate
scripts to make enlightement the default window manager.
I clicked yes and it modified the .xinitrc (among other
files I imagine) file, but when I logged back in under that
account, it kept coming up with the fvwm window manager.
Is there something I'm doing wrong?  Thanks,

  Jason
