hey Robert ,
You Wrote:
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 had some similar problems with enlightenment ...
Try looking in the
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
this file handles the starting up of X
and should help u out
Cheers
