Hi all, I just did an install of FC2 without problems. Now in setting up desktop, although I run 'switchdesk KDE' I still have the gnome desktop, icons, etc. A review of .Xclients-default refers to a variable WMPATH that is exported. However when I do a 'echo $WMPATH there is only a blank return. This suggests that .Xclients-default is not being read/executed. Where should I start to look?
TIA,
Bob
If you look at the .Xclients-default script, the $WMPATH variable is never exported. So, if you echo it to see the contents at the command line, it'll be blank. "switchdesk KDE" worked for me. Make sure your .Xclients-default file looks like this and you should be OK:
#! /bin/bash # Created by Red Hat Desktop Switcher
WMPATH="/usr/bin /opt/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/X11R6/bin"
for wm in $WMPATH ; do [ -x $wm/startkde ] && exec $wm/startkde done
exit 1
I did figure out that $WMPATH isn't exported. I now have a funny mix of gnome and kde icons on the panel and no kde control center in the menu but most of the k* programs in the menu.
Is there a place to check and see exactly what desktop started up?
Tnx,
Bob
