I guess I can just replace the twm in .xinitrc with > qvwm now? When starting X by typing "startx", then yes. If you are using xdm or some other display-manager (don't confuse it with window-manager), then make the changes in ~/.xsession If you are using a session-manager like xsm, then make the changes in the session-menu. Don't panic if this sounds chaotic; in most cases the man-page will tell you where to put an appropriate commandline. I guess "man qvwm" will tell you where to put a commandline that starts qvwm.
