Hi,You can set this on a user-by-user basis by creating a file in the user's home directory named ".xinitrc", and put the name of your preferred wm in that file. Here's what mine looks like, which startx KDE:
I need help on learning how to install Debian so I can start X with any
desired window manager ie. icevwm, blackbox by default.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/westk:> cat .xinitrc
#sawfish &
#icewm
#gnome-session
startkde
#flwm &
#blackbox &
#fvwm95 &
#larswm &
#galeon
#fvwm95
#xterm
#gnome-panel &
#twm
#wmaker
#xfwm
I don't have any right now. Can I have this done by the installation
process? I didn't request kde when installing for the first time.
apt-get install sawfish icewm blackbox kde wmaker
or
apt-get install fvwm95
Yes gdm does it and I have been able to run blackbox within gnome butThis is choice during the login using gdm? kdm actually changes fully between the wm/dm. If you want to try kdm, just:
could'n get rid of the gnome desktop.
apt-get install kdm
and you'll be asked which session manager you want to use. Later if you want to change which one you use:
dpkg-reconfigure kdm (or gdm, etc)
