    Xfce instead of gnome

    I am using gnome and want to install Xfce. I have made and apt-get install and every thing has been fine. Still I have gnome in the login. I have to activate Xfce in order to run (disativate gnome).

    How should I procced ?

    Thanks

    I'm not running Gnome, but if you are using the Gnome Display Manager to log in, I think there's an option to choose your session (where you'd choose Xfce) before actually logging in.

    Ozar is right.
    At GDM, press F10.
    Then you goto Pick Session.
    Choose xfce (Good choice ) save it as default.
    Then you can remove Gnome. (Dont remove GDM..or all the GTK libs..)

    Google first, then ask..
