What determines the desktop that the user sees when he/she logs in from a remote terminal? Is it a parameter in a file on the server? On the X-terminal? In an vault on the Klingon home world? Here is the problem: 1. When I log into the server I get a kde desktop that I have configured. 2. When I use "X -query " from a remote X-terminal to the same server, I get my usual KDE desktop on the X-terminal. 3. When I use a script called S-Terminal that uses ssh tunneling from the same X-terminal to the same account on the same server I get a Gnome desktop. In all three cases, I am using the same login name and password. Information on S-Terminal can be found at http://www.ma.utexas.edu/users/stirling/computergeek/xterminal.html (the hack I am using) and http://ayesha.phys.virginia.edu/~bryan/projects/knoppix/sterminal/. Before I get flamed, I am not asking anyone to debug the S-Terminal scripts. I provided the links as an FYI. The nature of my question is to get some hints for what I should be looking for in the S-terminal script to find out why I get a gnome desktop instead of my usual KDE desktop. So far, I have not found anything obvious looking for words like "desktop", "gnome", etc. in the script. I have contacted the authors, but no response as of yet.
