On: Debian: Change default desktop to xfce

[Aldo_MX]

Well, the change affected only configuration files, I would be scared if a change like this required a source change.

Well could you imagine if Microsoft or Apple tried to change their desktop environments?

Easy:

1. Edit registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

2. Change Shell to whatever exe you want.

Lots of people do this to run IE as the desktop shell and lock the entire machine down by simply setting the shell as "iexplore.exe -k www.mysite.com" and setting up some group policy items. One Kiosk set up.

You can even change the entire GUI stuff: http://litestep.info/

Like Windows 95 where you could pick between Program Manager and Desktop at install?
