How do you change the default windows manager in RH7.1

[ppmnt]

During the RH install I specified Gnome as the default, but installed KDE as well. I prefer KDE, so I'd like to change the default so that when it boots I don't have to first select KDE before I log in. Anybody know how to do that?

At a terminal, type:

switchdesk windowmanager

windowmanager should be replaced with the name of the WM, such as GNOME or KDE. In your case:

switchdesk KDE

would do the trick. I don't even think that that the name of the window manager is case sensitive...

If you are running X Windows, just typing:

switchdesk

will bring up a window that will allow you to graphically select the WM (and even give you a chance to see all of the WMs that you have installed). But that's only for X.

peez ;)
