Hello all, in my program I need to know what desktop environment the user is running. I figured this piece of code works, but apparently not on every Linux distro. On Ubuntu it did the trick, but then I heard of someone who runs SLiM that he get's an error with this.
if os.environ['DESKTOP_SESSION'].startswith('kde'): print "Running KDE" So, does anyone know a water-proof solution for desktop environment checking? Timo _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
