How to change window manager from KDE to WindowMaker on Slackware 10.2?
 
When I installed Slackware Linux 10.2 on my computer, I set KDE as the default window manager. I've used KDE for a while, but now I want to try something else, maybe something more lightweight so that my programs will run faster. Specifically, I want to know how to set X to load WindowMaker instead of KDE when I type "startx" on the command line. Does anyone know how to do this?

Just type in xwmconfig

You can also have Slackware boot into a graphical environment,and use KDE's session manager to choose your Window manager at login. Check out Slackbook chapter 6 for detailed instructions on how to set it up.

This works great for me. When I'm going to use a more cpu intensive application I just choose Window Maker instead of KDE.
