Compile options for XFce: (these are mine, the important ones refer to GDM)



./configure --disable-dt

--enable-gtk-engines=/usr/lib/gtk/themes/engines \--enable-xft

--enable-gdm --with-gdm-prefix=/etc/X11/gdm/Sessions \--enable-arts=yes

&& \ make && \

make install



Switching from KDM to using GDM as a graphical login



Open the file /etc/sysconfig/desktop in your favorite editor and change

DESKTOP="KDE" to read DESKTOP="GNOME", then restart X and you should be

looking at GDM - select XFce from the menu after entering your username

but before you add your password (in case you're like me and habitually

hit enter as soon as the password is there ;-) and you're good to go.
