Description Jeff Bastian 2003-12-06 01:37:50 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031022

Description of problem:
Section 4.1.5 of the Reference Guide says to set
  DISPLAY=<value>
where <value> is KDE or GNOME to set the default desktop.

However, if you examine the
  /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients
script, you'll see it should be
  DESKTOP=<value>

---------------------------------------------
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/desktop ]; then
    . /etc/sysconfig/desktop
    if [ "$DESKTOP" = "GNOME" ]; then
    PREFERRED=gnome-session
    elif [ "$DESKTOP" = "KDE" ]; then
    PREFERRED=startkde
    elif [ "$DESKTOP" = "WINDOWMAKER" ]; then
        PREFERRED=wmaker
    fi
fi
