part of the kdebase is kde2 - kde session manager, which obviously cannot be uninstalled if I want to keep kde (because it's part of kdebase).
in X startup scripts: x-session-manager is started, if any exist: if [ -z "$realstartup" ]; then if [ -x /usr/bin/x-session-manager ]; then realstartup=x-session-manager elif [ -x /usr/bin/x-window-manager ]; then realstartup=x-window-manager elif [ -x /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator ]; then realstartup=x-terminal-emulator fi fi I would like to start up x-window-manager instead. How to properly configure this in debian? remove all alternatives for x-session-manager? btw this only happened during last update (after about a month), before the last update x-window-manager was started... why would a system do such an important change without at least a warning? I did not install any new programs, just did aptitude ugg. TIA erik
