Re: Changing X login back

["Joseph de los Santos" <jh0u hotmail com>]

Hi,
just wondering...if I installed helix-gnome it automatically overwrites my 
"old" gnome desktop right? so it's a system wide change? what I want to do 
is install helix-gnome together with my old gnome desktop. e.g. all users 
will still use the old gnome desktop and only one user will use the 
helix-gnome desktop...so everybody will still use the same desktop except 
one. Can this be done? If so, how? (i'm using debian woody).

Thanks for any info.
