Desktop environment as default

How do you change the settings for the default window manager? For example, I have XCFE, KDE and Fluxbox, how do I set Fluxbox to default?

No, I have to do that every time. I want to know how to make Fluxbox default so I don't have to select it everytime.

It didn't work. The menu says Fluxbox, so I made it Fluxbox in the document as opposed to fluxbox but it still goes into KDE.

do this
mv .kde .kdeold
edit .dmrc again with fluxbox
logout and login

If you're running something similar to Gentoo you can edit /etc/rc.conf and change the lines:

Code:

# What display manager do you use ?  [ xdm | gdm | kdm | entrance ]
DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm"
XSESSION="kde-3.5"

Not sure where you change this stuff in other distros.

Cheers.
