Description Bart Whiteley 2005-11-08 18:46:19 UTC

I installed 10.1 alpha2plus, selecting KDE during install (because 
gnome doesn't work.  see 132676).  Then I installed gnome.  I rebooted, 
and tried to run a GNOME session.  I select GNOME as my session type 
in KDM, but when I log in I'm in kde, not GNOME.

Related Problem;

This specific problem is related to KDM, which gets started at init level 5.

The KDM GUI offers a number of session types to choose from (Default, Failsafe,
Gnome, KDE...).  If you select 'Failsafe', a failsafe session is appropriately
started. 

However, if you select other session types (for example, Gnome or KDE) 
AND you have a $HOME/.xsession,  your KDM selection is ignored and the
$HOME/.xsession takes priority no matter what.  

Under RedHat, what a user selected at the KDM GUI was what the user got
(regardless of existence of a .xsession file in their home directory.)

I will open a seperate bug concerning my last comment as this may be a seperate issue, and the partner wants it filed against SLES 9.

Re-assigning to the KDE team.

Comment 4 Stephan Kulow 2005-12-15 14:29:53 UTC

how did you "install gnome"? 
is this problem still reproducible?

Comment 5 Stephan Kulow 2005-12-15 14:34:09 UTC

ok, I installed "gnome-session" and dependencies and it definitely works
