Description Peer Hebing 2003-04-19 09:42:36 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030313

Description of problem:
This seems to be wrong 
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/desktop ]; then
        . /etc/sysconfig/desktop
        if [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = GNOME ]; then
                preferred=gdm
        elif [ "DISPLAYMANAGER" = KDE ]; then
                preferred=kdm
        elif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = XDM ]; then
                preferred=xdm
        fi




Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-7.14-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select KDE as prefered Desktop
2. Boot to runlevel 5

    

Actual Results:  gdm is coming up instead of kdm even if the prefered Desktop in 
/etc/sysconfig/desktop is KDE

Expected Results:  It should start kdm 

Additional info:
upgraded from RH 8.0 i have DESKTOP="KDE" in /etc/sysconfig/desktop.
I think it has to be $DESKTOP instead of $DISPLAYMANAGER in this case

No, this was intentional.
