19 I've heard users only the user's list say it's easy to switch back too
20 without uninstalling. Some even run it under a separate user just to
21 make sure they keep their own profile under KDE3. So I know it's
22 possible to have both - plus they are in separate slots in portage.
23
24 I'm interested to hear, however, how easy it is for those of us that
25 login on the command line instead of the GUI. Should be as simple as
26 re-pointing the xinitrc file for the individual user, no?
27
28 TIA,
