Hi Being really scared of how KDE 4 looks like I'm trying to be proactive and started looking for alternatives.
After installing Xfce I can't start KDE, though. I don't use any display manager, and this is what I get when invoking startkde: xsetroot: unable to open display '' xset: unable to open display "" xsetroot: unable to open display '' startkde: starting up... ksplash: cannot connect to X server xprop: unable to open display '' kdeinit: aborting. $DISPLAY is not set ERROR: couldn't attach to DCOP server startkde: shutting down startkde: running shutdown scripts xprop: unable to open display '' startkde: done Before this I used to launch KDE by just using startx and not having a .xinitrc file. Only if I wanted to experiment with exotic window managers I used it. Now, if I don't have this file I get into Xfce automatically when starting X. If I have it and specify KDE it doesn't work either. I looked at the default places where (according to man) startx looks at and couldn't figure out what's telling it to launch Xfce (and perhaps stopping KDE to start?). Some hints?
