Installing XFCE4 under SuSE 8.2

[Olivier Fourdan]

Dennis, 

the startup scripts provided with xfce are for gdm, not kdm.

I also included some stuff for RedHat and Mandrake to pick it up. I know
nothing about SuSE actually.

As for starting xfce4 from a terminal, try "startxfce4"

Cheers,
Olivier.

   Interoperability is the keyword, uniformity is a dead end.
