Here's another way: Create /usr/local/bin/startkdealt: #!/bin/sh KDEHOME=$HOME/.kdealt /usr/bin/startkde "$@" #-- End /usr/local/bin/startkdealt And create /usr/share/xsessions/kdealt.desktop: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Type=XSession Exec=/usr/local/bin/startkdealt TryExec=/usr/local/bin/startkdealt Name=KDE, alternate config Comment=The K Desktop Environment, alternate config. A powerful Open Source graphical desktop environment #-- End /usr/share/xsessions/kdealt.desktop ...and then choose "KDE, alternate config" from kdm (alt-t or the options button). -- Rob
