half KDE half Gnome..help!!!

I was exploring SuSe 10.1 which had KDE
I ran the Search for files(Nautilus Search too)l which was located under
K-Menu->System->File manager

and from then on my desktop became half Gnome & half KDE & it looks bad...
See Pic:

How do I revert back to full KDE desktop..

Please Help!!

I dont understand, what so GNOME in this? :\

U can select keramik menu or any other from kde control centre that'll solve yor probs.

See the way the icons are...
& Konqueror is not being used to display folder contents when I click bharat's home on the desktop but uses it when I clik on the home icon next to K Menu

lol harsh, give another look at the screen, he's task bar is KDE but his his desktop is GNOME desktop. Icon for home folder is a dead give away of gnome.
I have faced this with xfce too. Just open the terminal and type

Code:

 ps auxw | grep metacity

You will get two entries something like this

Code:

mehul    [b]28954[/b]  0.0  1.2  15620  9472 pts/1    S    01:37   0:12 metacity
mehul    14266  0.0  0.1   2860   780 pts/0    S+   10:04   0:00 grep metacity

Now issue this command

Code:

kill -9 28954

Replace 28954 with whatever number you get which I have marked in bold in the output.

And, you Konqueror only under KDE, in fact I find it as the best file manager, it can do a lot more than what nautilius can do.

I'm getting no such process:

bharat@linux-ycee:~> ps auxw | grep metacity
bharat 4560 0.0 0.1 2752 696 pts/1 S+ 10:16 0:00 grep metacity
bharat@linux-ycee:~> kill -9 4560
bash: kill: (4560) - No such process
bharat@linux-ycee:~>

& I got only 1 entry not 2....

have you tried killing and then restarting X?..or else rebooting?

that should solve your problem..

I'm not able to kill atatll..I says no such process.
Also tried restarting but it starts in KDE & immediately switches to Gnome

T

i dont understand...
u mean it is showing the KDE splashscreen and then going back to gnome desktop? or is it showing this mixed desktop again?

try
CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE..

OK post the output of

Code:

ps auxw

.

@Tech_your_future, Looks like this guy (@Bharat) is running KDM & GDM simultaneously!!
I have never seen a Linux desktop like this!!

Your KDE session manager has saved Nautilus process and is autostarting it when you login to KDE. Instead of looking for metacity, look for nautilus using the command "ps auxw | grep nautilus" (without quotes) and then kill it.

Alternatively, you can pass the command "killall nautilus" (without quotes) to stop the nautilus process.

Thanks eddie!!!
It worked & I've got rid of the ugly gnome!!
