How does one switch desktops
On using knoppix 3.2 it drops you in to the deffault desktop KDE.
How would you then change over to other desktops such as Windomaker or Gnome Etc... Is this done with a command in a terminal window ? or do you type in commands on boot up ? or can you do it easy from GUI
Would realy like to know
Thanks in advance for help.
Newbie to linux but loving it :D

Chatting with folks on freenet #knoppix, and there are claims that Knoppix only comes on the DVD
Or i could try the following:
apt-get -t unstable gnome
Is this correct?
Re: How does one switch desktops (VNC and startx)
--On a related note... Installed to HD, I wanted to use VNC to access my remote X desktop - and pretty much no matter what I did, it would always load KDE instead of sawfish. I googled around and finally found a suggestion that worked:
o Create ~/.xsession like so: # BEGIN ~/.xsession
Code:
# NOTE: This file is necessary for VNC to load the correct wmgr
# w/o loading KDE
# WINDOWMANAGER="fvwm2"
# WINDOWMANAGER="icewm"
#WINDOWMANAGER="wmaker"
WINDOWMANAGER="sawfish"
rxvt &
exec $WINDOWMANAGER &
## END
--I did a chmod +x on it as well, not sure if this is absolutely necessary. Also note that if /usr/bin is not in your $PATH, you should specify where the windowmanager lives in the variable declaration.
--Now when you start vncserver it will load sawfish. (I'm pretty much sure this will change how ' startx ' works as well but haven't tried it.)
