How to start IceWM under Red Hat 8.0 ?
 
All of the obvious documented ways of getting IceWM started under Red Hat 8.0 don't seem to work. Any ideas on what the trick is ?

Thanks,
rcs

Why don't you tell us what you already tried, and what happened. Then we can help you work through it.

If you use GDM this is the procedure to add an Icewm entry to it.

Open a terminal, and do:
Code:
su
enter you pass
cd /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions
vi Icewm
Then hit the 'i' key to enter Insertion mode, then write this:
#!/bin/sh
exec icewm

Hit escape key, then ':' then 'w' then 'q' then enter.

Logout...
In gdm, click the 'Session' button, Icewm will be in the list.
