[csw-users] CSWgnome is slower than CSWkde_gcc on SPARC?

[Dan O'Callaghan]

I've just installed KDE_GCC
got to admit, it is a lot faster with the graphics,

There is a problem with the dt_login package.
It's only integrated with "C" locale. 
Coming from the UK, i use a different locale and the KDE is not listed
as a desktop option on the login screen.

cheers
DanO.
