Simple question that I appear to be missing the answer to, how do I specify the default desktop? I know I am probably going to kick myself when I find out but the guy I work with and I just can't seem to find it. :(
Thanks Chris

switchdesk for the current user, /etc/sysconfig/desktop for the default for all users.
Thanks for all the replies, yep excuse me while I go kick myself. :)

switchdesk

/etc/sysconfig/desktop
change to DESKTOP ="KDE" to change KDE at start.
I've always have had problems with redhats automated switchdesk tools... On Monday 04 April 2005 07:03, Johnny Hughes wrote:

I don't know anything about switchdesk.
1. To create a new desktop definition, copy /etc.X11/dm/Sessions/gnome.desktop to ... yourfavorite.desktop and edit to change the GNOME values to YOURFAVORITE and set the correct executable name.
2. In order to set the default desktop to something other than GNOME, go to /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf and set the value below (default is false):
ShowLastSession=true
3. Login as YOURFAVORITE, and gdm will ask you if you wnat YOURFAVORITE as the default desktop choice.
Enjoy
