Hi All,

I'm new to Redhat, though I've been using SuSE
for the past two years.

Rather than Gnome or KDE, my desktop of choice is
XFCE (it's superfast - if you'd like to try it,
it's on the Redhat Powertools CD).

My problem - I can't seem to make XFCE the
default desktop. The switchdesk tool does not
include an option for XFCE. Under SuSE there is
an environment variable called $WINDOWMANAGER,
but I can find no evidence of its existence in
Redhat. I have a good book about Redhat which
says that I can set the default desktop by
creating a hidden file in my home directory
called .Xclients-default with the command "exec
startxfce" inside - alas, it does not work. The
only way I can get XFCE to start is from the
command line by typing "startxfce" - which is OK,
but not elegant.

I hope that somebody can tell me how to make XFCE
the default.

Thanks in advance,
Robert Storey
