If you want to start a second session, the syntax is "startx kde --

No? I think it does on my machine.


However, for some reason I don't know, this syntax fails with 11.2
(«bad command line option "xterm"»). Go figure.

I have not tried with kde/gnome, but icewm, xfce4, enlightenment, e16 and
lxde work for me in 11.2 (from runlevel 3).

I have discovered that the command works if you give the full path to the wm, but fails if you give only the name - which worked on earlier versions.
