Just to further muddy the waters: kdm has its own system with the other *dm's, where it sets the default manager ... I'm unsure as to whether it registers as an x-s-m or not. KDE is definitely a session manager rather than a window manager ... if something's going to register as a window manager, it'd have to be kwin, the component of KDE that actually *is* a window manager. How does GNOME do it? :) d -- Daniel Stone <daniel@sfarc.net> * DannyS abandons all his morals and makes an appeal for access to a build box on -kde. * asuffield laughs at "morals" <ElectricElf> asuffield: Unless I'm mistaken, a "moral" is some form of painting. <ElectricElf> asuffield: Something big, I think ;)
