[gentoo-user] starting kde

[gentoo-user] starting kde

[William Kenworthy]

My laptop normally runs gnome but T want to demo some other desktops
tomorrow and kde is giving me problems - kde-meta 4.4.5 is installed.  I
think last time I did this it was kde-3.5 but that almost two years ago
now and the same method isnt working for 4.4.5.  I have a different user
setup for each demo, I need all desktops to be running concurrently.

>startkde
$DISPLAY is not set or cannot connect to the X server

The same occurs if I use startkde -- :1 etc

Note that I want to run kde at the same time as gnome, fluxbox, xfce and
LXDE

I'm also having problems with LXDE but thats a different error ...

Actually, not a problem - found the gdm "switch user" can start new
sessions with whatever desktop needed.  I was trying to do it via a
console login for each session type.
