    Question RH8 ~ KDE hangs during boot at loading window manager

    RH8 installed with Gnome. I decided to install KDE so back into the CDROM the media I went... I chose KDE to install and everything completed to install without any error messages or failures. I can even choose the KDE applications from the Gnome login session and run them from the Gnome menu. The KDE applications run..Things work fine. I reboot the machine and select KDE as my default desktop... it starts to load up... then mouse freezes and it is hung at the startup point of ..loading Window Manager. KDE desktop never opens it's just hung on trying to start up. I am forced at this point to only be able to run Gnome desktop...

    Anyone had this happen? Is there any fix?

    I don't have a fix for this, but have you checked the .xsession-errors log in your home directory after an unsuccessful attempt to load KDE ? It may give some more pointers to whats going off. You could try posting the log here too.
