Change from KDE to Gnome

[MattW]

Hi Guys,
Just started with Slack 8.0 on my laptop.
During setup, I selected KDE as my window manager, but now when I re-run setup and select Gnome as manager, I still get KDE when I start X.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Matt

the easiest way to switch windowmanagers, at least in my (admittedly limited) expierience, is to edit the file called .Xinitrc in your home directory. change it to:

exec gnome-session

CAn u start gnome while in kde ?

or how, i tried 'startx gnome' in a termial

gave me a display inuse error ?

Open an xterm and type "switchdesk". This will re-write the .xinitrc stuff as needed, and when you re-start x, voila!.
