in rc.conf it says: # XSESSION is a new variable to control what window manager to start ...... # Defaults depending on what you install currently include: # # Gnome - will start gnome-session # KDE - will start startkde # Xsession - will start a terminal and a few other nice apps but setting XSESSION=KDE does *NOT* work, after investigation i discovered that it should be: XSESSION=kde-3.0 this type of mis-information could cause people who dont like to hunt down how things like that work to just give up. perhaps the default KDE installation should symlink /etc/X11/Sessions/kde-3.0 to /etc/X11/Sessions/KDE or better yet, the newest version of kde should be symlinked
Dan, just need to know all the XSESSIONS availible for KDE.
kdebase installs /etc/X11/Sessions/kde-$PV. Fex. I currently have kde-2.2.2 and kde-3.0.1 in there. Linking "kde" to the kde-$PV being installed is easy, but it's not the same as linking it to the newest kde-$PV in there. Do you think I should do either? Oh, and btw, looking at the kdebase ebuild I found that it also installs the same script into /usr/X11R6/bin/wm in the old fashion, for backward compatibility. Do we need to keep that yet? (Not that I mind).
We dont need /usr/X11R6/bin/wm anymore. Well, I think it will be easier for the user if each base also installed a KDE2 or maybe KDE3. Ill leave that up to you, just let me know what you did.
Dan fixed this on CVS.
