SlackWare 10 Window Manager Question
 

Hey, Im running Slackware 10.0 on an old Tosheba 315CDT Laptop. I wanna know what the command-line command is to load a Window Manager other than the default one when I type startx.:newbie:

Create a file called .xinitrc in your home directory, and type the appropriate command to start the window manager you want into it. You can see all the possible xinit scripts in /etc/X11/xinit (and modifying the xinitrc -- note the lack of a dot preceding it -- file in this directory changes the default WM).

If you are using the gui all the time why not boot right into gdm. Change your run level to 4 (it's in the /etc/inittab file). Then you need to check the /etc/rd.4 file to make sure that you have the appropriate log in manager. GDM would be best. But if you find yourself using KDE, use KDM.

even if you use KDE use gdm cos it is beeeautiful ;)

hi,

to make a desktop selection you may run the command

Thanks.
 

I don't always use X but a lot of the time I do. Also for a nother Question, How do I edit all my menues and submenues in Window Maker? I have not chosen to install a lot of things but there is still links to programs that I hav not installed.
Thankx for the previous advise.
