Next we need Gnome and KDE
Authored by: TikTokk on Oct 25, '01 12:38:58PM

Now someone show us how to install Gnome & KDE on OSX. No real reason, just for the wow factor.

Yup . . . the GUi for Windowmaker is sort of spartan to say the least.

I did try doing a REMOVe of windowmaker and an INSTALL of gnome-core;
then changing the .xinitrc file to comment out the exec wmaker and added
in exec gnome-core. DarwinX quits if I do this . . . so hopefully somebody
with more unix smarts than me will explain how to get KDE working.

I've got Gnome running stable and fine (if I wanted to use it. I tend to run Wmaker instead). Just install Gnome through fink and replace exec wmaker (or whatever) in your .xinitrc or .xsession (or whatever) file to exec gnome-session. It worked for me.

What I'd really like to see is OpenOffice (StarOffice) running on Xfree86!
