I use startx to start either KDE or GNOME. I type: startx kde startx gnome to start the respective window manager. here is what I put in .xinitrc if [ "$1" = "kde" ] ; then exec startkde fi if [ "$1" = "gnome" ] ; then exec gnome-session fi Just providing the idea, since there was some mention of using gnome as well as kde.

Hello,
KDE 3.5.9 died on me. I installed some updates via the adept updater and after rebooting, I get dropped into run-level 3 (which I actually prefer). When I type startkde, which is in /usr/bin, I get the following errors:
Hello,
I would recommend trying the following:
cd ~ mv .kde .kde.saveme startkde
If this works, it suggests that you have some user setting that is causing KDE some grief. If it does not, we'll need more information to help.
Please let us know the result of this little experiment.
Later,
Andy

Actually, I think I solved the problem.... I created .xinitrc file in my home directory that contains exec startkde
then I ran startx and kde started up. I have to recreate some settings and configurations, but it looks like it's working.
Thanks Andy.
