Howdy, |

After playing with the Kororaa Xgl Live CD, then with Xorg 7 entering |
4 |
ebuild testing, |
5 |
I decided to give Xgl a try. |
6 |
|
7 |
The xorg 7 upgrade went extremely smooth. Big THANK YOU to those |
8 |
responsible! |

|

The wiki instructions for installing Xgl worked too. |
11 |
|
12 |
Then I discovered what gnome-window-decorator does in KDE. Not pretty. :-( |
13 |
I figured I could live: |
14 |
* with old fashioned decorations, |
15 |
* without my background image, |
16 |
* with my panel stretching across both monitors, |
17 |
* with windows opening centered on the desktop vs on a display, |
18 |
* with some brain dead right mouse desktop popup menu. |

But I couldn't live with a dead X the next morning. So bye-bye Xgl. |
21 |
|
22 |
OK, off to the net to see what I could find, which distilled down to use |
23 |
gnome. |
24 |
Next gen KDE should have similar features. |
25 |
|
26 |
Well, I've never really gave gnome a try, so maybe it's not as bad as it |
27 |
looks. :-) |
28 |
Installed gnome. |
29 |
|
30 |
Now what I'd really like is to be able to switch between X+KDE and Xgl+gnome |
31 |
sessions. I don't really see how to do this with one display manager. |
32 |
Not sure |
33 |
how to configure to run multiple display managers. Currently I use xdm |
34 |
to run |
35 |
kdm. |
36 |
|
37 |
Any suggestions would be appreciated. |

Thank you, |
