I just installed kde 3.1.2 from download.kde.org on top of a pretty stock woody distro. I didn't install kdm. The problem is that kde isn't offered as a login session under gdm. I don't know much about configuring gdm, but there is a script under /etc/gdm/Sessions called "KDE" that looks like it ought to start kde. However, gdm seems to be ignoring that. Under the session menu in the gdm login screen I have:
- Last - Gnome - Gnome Chooser - Debian - Xsession - Failsafe Gnome - Failsafe xterm Does anyone know how to get KDE to show up on this list (and presumably then to run)? BTW, gdm is the original woody version. Also, I had to upgrade my XFree to 4.2 because of my video card. I used the xfree packages from: http://people.debian.org/~blade/woody/i386 I also installed woody using the 2.2.20 kernel and then upgraded to 2.4.18 using the kernel-source package. Those are the major mods I've done since the installation.
