Well, I know this one, the official way is through the update-alternatives command (some examples): # /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --display x-window-manager x-window-manager - status is auto. link currently points to /usr/bin/kde2 /usr/bin/gnome-session - priority 400 /usr/bin/sawfish - priority 20 /usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker - priority 7 /usr/X11R6/bin/afterstep - priority 2 /usr/X11R6/bin/9wm - priority 6 /usr/bin/X11/wmaker - priority 400 /usr/bin/kde2 - priority 800 /usr/bin/startkde - priority 800 Current `best' version is /usr/bin/kde2. * /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-window-manager windower /usr/bin/gnome-session 1100
