Mikkel,
I lost your letter until now, but I was able to get it to work by digging
out my old 5.2 configuration: I created an .xinitrc file and added
startkde to it. Now kde starts instead of Gnome.
For awhile I was beginning to think that Bill Gates had taken over Gnome -
now matter what I did I couldn't get rid of it! I didn't install it, but
there it was!
