Cant get out of WindowMaker--HELP

SirLostalot · 11-10-2002, 04:26 PM

Hi, I have RH 8 as a dual boot with WIN XP. I am brand new at this. I was looking around and figured I would look at Window Maker (I used switchdesk to get there)
It allowed me to change there. Now, I run switchdesk in WindowMaker and tried to change back to KDE, but when I restart X, it takes me back into Window Maker.

Someone please help. How do I get it to change back.

TIA

And, also, I can logout and login as root and I can access Gnome or KDE.
I logged in as root and deleted the user (myself) and then added the user back. Still the same problem exists.

Someone please help!!!

Do you have either of these files in your home directory?
.xinitrc or .Xsession-default (or something like that)

When you delete the user it doesn't remove their home directory (usually), so when you recreate a 'new' user with the same username, the old dir will be used, and so any preferences that were set will still be set.
