Sponsor |  amala | Jun 24, 2007 12:44pm | A long time ago a stumbler said that he had been able to use KDE application in one window and GNOME in another. I have installed Mandriva Spring (discovery) recently. I am new to Linux and have not decided which desktop and applications are most useful.
Could some one, please, tell me how I can have both applications? I am given a choice when I log in. Thank you for your help |

Sponsor | | amala | Jun 24, 2007 6:00pm | | I mean that on desktop window I would like KDE and on another one GNOME. At the moment I have 4 desktop windows. So in one window I would like to run all the KDE application and on another GNOME. Is that possible, please? |

| | Zephyr-The-Zeph | Jun 29, 2007 5:47pm | | I think he wants to run KDE/Gnome/Enlightenment/Flux (The window managers) *IN* a window, Which is bizarre when you can run KDE app in Gnome and vice versa with the appropriate libs. |

Sponsor | | trevho | Jun 29, 2007 5:55pm | | Right and with all the many environments imagine if you could have spaces for 3 or 4 |

| | Zephyr-The-Zeph | Jun 29, 2007 5:56pm | | 9: Holy hell man, If you had a powerful box, Gnome/KDE/Flux/Enlightenment in different workspaces would be off the hook. |
