No, they're not. KDE is an integrated window manager & more -- what the KDE team and others refer to as a Desktop Environment (hence kDE). Both projects include session managers, but are not limited to that. GNOME doesn't have a window manager as such, although there are lots of window managers that are compatible with GNOME. GNOME is essentially a Desktop Environment too, but I'm not sure they'd define the project that way. > You > need to run > > update-alternatives --config x-session-manager > But yes, that will do what's required. -- Lee Braiden, Artelos.com mailto: lee@artelos.com ICQ: 24346459 Jabber: jel@jabber.org
