Hi,
is there a way to have the fedora 10 KDE login window on the standard fedora 10 (with KDE) ? i find the KDE login nicer than the standard GNOME login window. thanks a lot.

I just set DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE" in /etc/sysconfig/desktop
and then init 3;init 5 or a reboot
I have this in mine Pretty sure that its not all necessary !!
tarifa ~ 1001# cat /etc/sysconfig/desktop DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE" WINDOWMANAGER="XFCE" DISPLAY="KDE" DESKTOP="XFCE"

This sets the display manager to KDM.
DESKTOP="XFCE"
This sets the systemwide default desktop to XFCE. (It can be overridden per user.) The original poster probably wants DESKTOP="KDE" instead.
WINDOWMANAGER="XFCE" DISPLAY="KDE"
I'm not sure either of those 2 are actually used, they're both not necessary in any case.

Assuming you have KDE installed then the choice between Gnome and KDE will be in one of the login pull down menus I haven't got the Gnome Display Manager on any of my machines and so can't tell you exactly
If you wish to set the login window to KDM then just create /etc/sysconfig/desktop with gedit or some other editor and add the single line (with a RETURN char)
DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE"

thanks a lot, it works
