To change your default window manager (and fvwm is pretty good, and very customizable) you need to modify either .xsession or .xinitrc (depending on how you start X - with xdm or with startx, respectively). See man xdm or man startx for details. Probably the best thing to do (after you've read the relevant man page) is to copy the default system-wide file to your login directory and modify it to your liking. > > If you don't think other list members would benefit, please just reply to > me personally. > > > Thanks! > > > Jeff > > ______________________________________________________________________ > > jroberts@ashland.edu >>>> Jeff Roberts <<<< strider@acm.org > ______________________________________________________________________ > > > Nadav
