Too much fun and games...

Most distribution have a config setting that determines which X
interface to use. In the RedHat derivatives, that setting hids
in /etc/sysconfig/desktop. Since you are using SUSE, I would bet it hids
somewhere in YAST as that is &quot;the SUSE way&quot;. 

The slow way is to dig in the /etc/X11 directory and figure out the
xconfig settings that are used to start things.

Some strings to look for are &quot;gnome-session&quot; and &quot;gnome-panel&quot;.

Bear in mind, the default install on SUSE is KDE and it may not have
installed the gnome stuff. The RedHat derivatives do the same to KDE
(along with some more mangling of themes that seem to _really_ annoy the
KDE fans [I guess the gnome fans are just more tolerant of theme
mangling since RH mangles the gnome stuff as well]&lt;/flame-bait&gt;)
