Hi list

I'm running Debian testing (etch) on a AMD64x2 box.

I've tried to get used to the K Desktop Environment but didn't succeeded :-)

Now I have switched back to Gnome again.

I don't know if this is the proper way to do it, but since I couldn't find a way to switch from kdm to gdm I altered this file:

    /etc/X11/default-display-manager

And changed kdm to gdm. Then I restarted my PC.

Now when I'm happily back in Gnome I checked

    Desktop > Administration > Services

Here I can see kdm is running in the background (I cant turn it off, the servicemanager dies) ?

And when I type 'top' in my terminal theres a lot of services named k.....something running as well ??

Have I missed something here ?

How do I bring this back to a sane state ??

(Nothing suspicious in .xession-errors though !)


dpkg-reconfigure kdm or gdm would solve this the debian way.

Also if you removed kdm it would force you to select a new default anyway.

HTH
