Re: x-window-manager link
Heather,
Thanks for your help. I now have enlightenment v0.16.3 installed using the
'apt-get install kdebase enlightenment' command you suggested. During the
install, apt-get said that I had the latest kdebase installed and then
proceded to install enlightenment.
Enlightenment looks cool! But unfortunately, that's as far as it goes... the
KDE desktop is not automatically loaded. And, in fact, I cannot get to my
KDE apps from the enlightenment menus. Bummer....
I would like to issue the 'startx' command and have X start up and go
directly into the KDE desktop.
I can get to the KDE desktop now by issuing the 'xinit' command and then
issuing the 'startkde' command in the X login window. If I close the login
window, X stops and I'm back at the command line.
I am not currently running either xdm or kdm as both present me with a
graphical login and then take me to the current window manager (now
enlightenment, was twm).
Argh... I wish I knew how to figure out who's doing what to whom with all
these "managers".... X display manager to X session manager to X window
manager to X terminal manager, etc., etc., etc.

for "enlightenment" you can put sawfish, icewm, or whatever your favorite
K-aware wm is -- I like enlightenment because I already have scads of themes
for it. Which reminds me, you can also get kde-theme-* deb's too. See
aptitude or console-apt for a good listing... and in case you haven't heard
of those, they are packages too. (In later versions, you may need to fetch
the package name "deity" instead of "console-apt".)
