I actually had to modify 3 items to get back to the old familiar
environment: x-session-manager (was gnome-session, now startkde),
x-window-manager (was metacity, now kwin) and x-terminal-emulator
(was gnome-terminal-wrapper, now konsole).
Shouldn't this have been done automatically in the installation? Has
no one encountered this? Am I the only one that has seen this? I'll
file a bug report if appropriate.
