Start XFCE autoamtically?
 

How can you make XFCE start automatically instead of the selection menu?
Also since XFCE has no login screen(does it have one?) how can we go about login of different users(and root)?

With xwmconfig (which you can also reach through vasm), you get to choose which WM you want as default. Don't know about the login part though, since I still boot to text mode before starting X.

I know about xwmconfig but I do not have xfce as a choice in that menu. If you have that choice please tell me how I could "insert" it on my xwmconfig menu.

I am booting to text mode now and type 'xfcestart' but I want to do it automatically as in kde style.

you can create an ~/.xinitrc and put your windowmanager options in there

as root
cd /etc/X11/xinit
cp xinitrc xinitrc.xfce
mcedit xinitrc.xfce

Here is the file after editing.
You should have xfce on xwmconfig.
