How do I allow my usr to switch from enlightenment > to afterstep, or any other XDesktop for that matter? There are a thousand ways to do this. The standard way is to configure your .Xsession, the pass in your wm when you start X, but that is way too involved for most people. You may want to try xwmm port in the /usr/ports/x11-wm section. I used it a long time ago, and it works reasonably well. It's a window manager chooser. When you start X it presents you with a list of window managers to start. When you exit, it comes back up, so it's easy to switch between wms without restarting X. But what I definitely recommend is reading the X sections in the Handbook and the FAQ. There's a ton of gold in there just waiting to be mined. David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
