The better desktop environment?

You can always kill your X Server with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and start another Window manager or desktop environment.

Code:

---

startx kde
startx gnome
startx windowmaker

Is KDE unable to produce sound in this application. Are there other applications where this is so?
Also-
Is it possible to switch between Gnome, KDE and whatever on the fly or must you reboot when you want to do this?

It's just KDE where flash gets no sound. Tried that artsd command to open a new instance of my browser--still no sound. But it's easy enough to ctrl+alt+Backspace, choose Gnome and log back in for long enough to do what I want and switch back.

Only other sound related issue I have is Core 3 not knowing what Midi Sequencer I have. So I can't play or compose (not that I did any of that anyway.)

EDIT: Well, a yum update later and all of a sudden sound works in flash. I don't remember changing anything-so I guess it'll be chalked up to good luck.

xfce ......

whats the deal with getting no sound in flash anyways? i have the same problem.so if i log in using gnome it'll work?

i personally use kde 3.4 all the time..i think its cool and eye candy.plus i never really liked gnome :P

what did you update to get sound to work
