Hi,
You can add a file called .xinitrc to your home directory (the same path
where .bashrc is located). To choose the window/desktop manager to use
at startup, you add a line to the file:
For gnome:
exec gnome-session
For Enlightenment:
exec enlightenment
For KDE:
exec startkde
etc....
This change will not affect other users on your system.
