Hey all,
Okay, I am stuck in this uni machine. It uses gdm to login, and presents only KDE as the possible environment. But hark! /usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker is present! I tried killall -9 kwm && wmaker (as per a suggestion) but it simply logged me out.
Anyone got any bright ideas?
(I have a related question for those who answer correctly.)
James.

Textured background, space for username and password, drop down list of available environments, Go and Shutdown buttons.
Only KDE listed in menu.
Essex Uni logo in top right of the dialog. Small dialog.

kdm then.
Unfortunetely I've been forced into an NT lab due to a class (I'm right below you Neill :)
However a solution to the problem is still wanted.

Then we moved to a network of Sun 3-60s :-)
