I don't know, since I didn't intend to run that app anyway. I promptly
started removing all Gnome stuff (I prefer KDE. Found a new toy in
{wxWidgets/GTK+}).
All I do know is that it took out kdm and replaced it with gdm (without
asking!!!<G>).
Lessons learned:
1 - don't use 'tasksel' to install the desktop, unless you really do want
to use both KDE and Gnome.
2 - Once you have the desktop set up the way you like it, back-up all the
config and settings files. (I wrote a very simple-minded bash script to
handle the task).
I've had other people say this should not have happened, but it did, and
just thought I'd warn people so they could *back-up* BEFORE trying it. <G>
To an 'nix expert, it's no big deal. But, to us newbies, it's a
nightmare!.....
