after reading all the posts on the forum and trying everything,kdm still wont get me into kde3 ! only Xtart did..

so this is what i did to fix this problem(beside doing all the things that i read on the forum):

goto /etc/X11/wmsession.d/

there will be a file for each desktop environment,so there should be something like 11KDE or whatever number next to kde..

edit the file using vi or any editor ,

this is what u might see :

NAME=KDE 3

ICON=kde-wmsession.xpm

DESC=The K Desktop Environment

EXEC=/opt/kde3/bin//startkde3

SCRIPT:

exec /opt/kde3/bin//startkde3

 

only change the first line to :

NAME=KDE3

ICON=kde-wmsession.xpm

DESC=The K Desktop Environment

EXEC=/opt/kde3/bin//startkde3

SCRIPT:

exec /opt/kde3/bin//startkde3

 

and run KDM config from K > Configeration > KDE > System > Login Manager (All KDM Settings) ..

and Add :

KDE3

and that's it !
