I don't know if this will help but for my system to show kde instead of Gnome as
first choice, I edited the file:
/etc/rc.d/rc.4
so that KDE was the first choice in the file.
If you could move the lines that have to do with fluxbox, I think that might fix it.

Great description, Floyd. I've almost never used the traditional
killfile approach, but make an exception for the rm thing in this
group.

I read most of the posts in threads that interest me, but I try to
read *all* posts from those who seem to me to have been consistent
contributors. The score function in slrn is helpful for this.
Here's my list:

Chris F\.A\. Johnson" <cfajohnson@gmail\.com>
Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo\.com>
Sylvain Robitaille <syl@alcor\.concordia\.ca>
William Park <opengeometry@yahoo\.ca>
floyd@barrow\.com (Floyd L\. Davidson)

I almost always learn something about Slackware from these
posters. Thanks to all of you! Don't see much from Chris, but
his posts are generally gold. I also enjoy your posts in
comp.dcom.telecom.tech.

There are many others who contribute and I enjoy reading, but not
quite as consistent. Alan Hicks would be on my short list, except
for his "disciple" and occasional tendency to argument.
