> this is strange,

Not that strange. I see the default in English on my clean install of
Mageia-4-x86_64-DVD.iso


$ echo $DESKTOP_SESSION

$ cat /etc/release
Mageia release 4 (Official) for x86_64

$ cat /etc/sysconfig/desktop
DISPLAYMANAGER=kdm
DESKTOP=KDE4

$ ll  /etc/systemd/system/default.target
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Mar  9 10:44 /etc/systemd/system/default.target -> /lib/systemd/system/runlevel3.target

Daniel, maybe you can use another method to get the desktop http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/mageiawelcome/tree/usr/share/mageiawelcome/mageiawelcome.py#n54 ?

still valid Mageia-5-RC-x86_64-DVD. Apr 15 08:37:42 CEST 2015,
kde + Xfce desktops

and Mageia-5-RC-i586-DVD. Apr 15 08:55:11 CEST 2015,
kde + Xfce desktops

the installs are single DE

Comment 12 Daniel Napora 2015-04-27 14:07:02 CEST

This occurs only with KDE installed from classical installer, KDE installed from live sets $DESKTOP_SESSION correctly. I'm downloading classical DVD with Mageia 5 RC now to see how to fix this.

Ben can you show me output from command on Xfce please:
$ cat /etc/sysconfig/desktop

Source RPM: mageiawelcome-0.8.8-1.mga4 => mageiawelcome-0.8.14-1.mga5

Comment 13 Daniel Napora 2015-04-27 18:24:49 CEST

KDE installed from classical installer sets:
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE
Xfce sets:
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=XFCE

Hopefully I will be able to fix this soon.

Comment 14 Daniel Napora 2015-04-27 21:26:09 CEST
