i wanted to run SAWMILL as window manager (im not using ximian so i couldnt install sawfish) on gdm.
i did: update-alternatives --config x-window-manager and then i chose SAWMILL as the window manager from the list. BUT: i thought i should edit a file, particularly .xinitrc or .xsession... i have ~/.xsession file and it has only one line: exec gnome-session. anyway i just want to know whether i did the right thing to have a window manager or i should have done it in a different way/ thanks.
