Subject: How To Replace GNOME with KDE
Funny thing happened. I logged out and logged back in, run level 3. At
the prompt I typed "startkde" and here are the error messages that
resulted:

xsetroot: unable to open display ''
xrdb: Can't open display"
xset: unable to open display""
startkde: Starting up...
ksplash: cannot connect to X server
kdeinit: Aborting. $Display not set
Warning: connect () failed: :no such file or directory
Error: Can't contact kdeinit!
startkde: Running shutdown scripts...
startkde: Done.

Then I typed startx and the X server started up --- in KDE, what is
happening???

I am now in KDE and I don't dare switch --- who knows what will
happen.

Thanks.
