I just did a clean install of Test 3, all went well except in this version, I can't get the desktop switching tool from the main menu to work. It just goes off into the weeds and doesn't run. When I run /user/share/switchdesk/switchdesk-gui.py, it says there is a syntax problem in line 36. I ran /user/share/applications/switchdesk and, of course, it runs switchdesk-gui.py with the same error. Any ideas? Thanks, Jeff Hilson

Anyone knows where to get switchdesk-4.0.3-1? That bugzilla entry talks about it being fixed on that one (4.0.3-1), but I have not been able to find the package and up2date or yum do not see and update for 4.0.2-1, which is what I have now. TIA!
Cheers,

Advance forewarning of impending catastrophe. We'll probably be removing switchdesk in FC3:

Reading the referenced message, it appears that even though switchdesk is removed, one will still be able to select which gui to use at login. Is this understanding correct?

Yeah, basically GDM has code to allow you do it, but it disables that code if it sees that switchdesk is installed. You can switch that behaviour on even if switchdesk is installed by doing
ShowLastSession=true
in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
Cheers, Mark.

I made that change on my system and like the result much better than using switchdesk, anyway. That's the way RHL used to work and I preferred it that way.
Thanks.
