Thanks for the reply, but neither of these suggestions work.rd. There
is no file /etc/sysconfig/desktop on the system. I created one and
put the line above into it - no cigar.
Trying to remove gdm gives
[root at F9Alpha1 ~]# rpm -e gdm
error: Failed dependencies:
gdm is needed by (installed) fedorainfinity-gdm-theme-8.0.1-1.fc8.noarch
I guess I will just wait until the fix of gdm is ready.
