Hi,

To enter GNOME, I type "startx".  I tried entering KDE by typing
"startkde" which I what I remember doing a couple of years ago when
I last tried it.  But it can't start X.

Anyone have any clues?

$ startkde
xsetroot:  unable to open display ''
xset:  unable to open display ""
xsetroot:  unable to open display ''
startkde: Starting up...
startkde: Running kpersonalizer...
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server
kwin: cannot connect to X server
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server
[etc etc ad nauseum]
