To my knowledge, switchdesk works only for the user who runs it. the default desktop is controlled by /etc/sysconfig/desktop Also, you should never log into an x session as root. In fact, beyond initial setup, I disable the root account and use sudo when I need access. But I'm probably a bit more paranoid than most. -- Jim Perrin System Architect - UIT Ft Gordon & US Army Signal Center
