 Gnome - KDE Recently installed CentOS, the install defaulted to the Gnome GUI so i installed switchdesk to change to KDE. Have since tried removing switchdesk and using the session change at login to select KDE. The graphical login seems to be the Gnome one as changes to KDE Control Center -> System Administration -> Login Manager, have no effect and configuration via GDM works. How do i change the system to use KDM?  |

Small catch, now the computer doesn't switch off when it's shut down.  |

Reported as a bug. Work arond: Edit /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc change: HaltCmd=/sbin/halt to: HaltCmd=/usr/bin/poweroff (or where ever your poweroff command is) Chipmunk |
