Which Fedora version? Which KDE version?

But nothing works. Were have I gone wrong?

Did you try a reboot? Sometimes restarting X does fail.

Was KDE working before this?

I can testify that switchdesk doesn't switch to either KDE or KDM in
F9. I had to use GDM and chang ethe sessino to KDE. This was on a
machine on which I had installed Gnome first -- I should have bugged
it, but kinda just forgot about it.

I've never used switchdesk. Does it do something spectacular? I've always
logged out, used the icon on the login panel to select the other session,
then logged in again. What extra does switchdesk give you?

Anne
Nothing extra. It just allows you to change the default window manager.
The problem with the session icon on the login panel is that I don't
have one. So maybe the question is how to get it to appear. It was there
in previous installations. Any ideas?
