To quote Erik Steffl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, # I know I can do it that way (for xdm or startx) but I don't want to # completely override nice debian system of startup... we have these # x-session-managers and x-window-managers etc. and I would like to learn # how to work within this system, I now how to use update-alternatives to # use one or another x-session-manager or x-window-manager but how to # choose x-window-manager over x-session-manager during X startup - that's # a question. brief poking around shows no obvious way to do it other then # remove all the x-session-manager alternatives... not very elegant...
You're right. That's very ugly. :) You didn't mention, though, how you start X. Do you concistently use any graphical login manager(s)? Which one(s)? Or do you tend to use 'startx'? David Barclay Harris, Clan Barclay Aut agere, aut mori. (Either action, or death.)
