Description Andreas Kuntzagk 2005-10-28 08:28:12 UTC
I updated from 9.1 to 10.0 (retail version). Now after a login KDE is always starting regardless of the choosen session type (GNOME, IceWM etc.). 
But the choosen session type is remembered and displayed as last session type after logout.

Additional info: 

Choosing session type for newly created users works but not for existing before update.

I have been having simular problems.  I changed everything from tcsh to bash.  (Reset the X Server?)  I also refreshed ~/.profile, ~/.bashrc to defaults from /etc/skel.  This seemed to fix the problem.  I also notice that a new user with tcsh as the default has the same problem.

do you have a ~/.xsession ?
Comment 4 Kristian Harder 2006-01-05 22:40:48 UTC
I can confirm that the session type selection in the default system (i.e. without any .xsession etc) only works if a user has login shell bash, not tcsh. I am using session type fvwm2, which worked perfectly fine until I switched my login shell to tcsh in the yast2 user manager. From that point on my session type selection was ignored and KDE was started always. As soon as I switched back to bash I could run fvwm2 again.
