KDE and Gnome on X11

[dgill]

Just wanted to confirm, can KDE and Gnome co-exist peacefully using X11 and Fink?

Also, I've got KDE installed and just want to compare it to Gnome. I'm not sure which Gnome package to install. Any clues?

well, i can't say whether gnome and kde coexist happily but they do coexist
i have some serious stability issues with kde, but i installed gnome first so i odn't know whether they're inherent in kde or because of gnome. also, i'm running the current unstable of both kde and gnome so that might be the problem

the install gnome, install the bundle-gnome package. its a convenience package -- nothing actually in it, but it depends on all the files you'll need to run gnome

I installed kde first and then gnome. kde works great and gnome will not start. gnome only gets to the splash screen and then hangs. oh well

OK, is there a simple way to remove KDE short of digging around for all of its files?

Or I may stick with KDE for now. I'm not really using it, just learning what's what.
