How do you change the defult Window Manager?
Without using KDM XDM GDM.
The defult window manager when I type startx.. Thanks. |
you run 'pkgtool' from a root terminal, choose the option 'setup'& then choose the option 'xwmconfig'.
You may need to reboot rather than just log out & back in - i'm not sure but there's one way to find out ...... Hope this helps |
or just edit your ~/.Xclients or /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients
just put #!/bin/sh --windowmanager startup app-- --EOF-- and you don't have to reboot, just restart X |
Another way..
I'm sure the suggested method works fine, but I find it simpler to create or edit ~/.xinitrc to have "exec [wm-binary-launcher]" as the last line. f.ex: "exec gnome-session". And then you can add other programs you want to automatically start up as well f.ex:
~/.xinitrc: ---------- exec xterm& exec galeon& exec blackbox |
The best and easiest way is to
1.type "su" and the password 2.type "cd /etc/X11/xinit" 3.type "cp xinitrc.kde xinitrc" This will save xinitrc.kde as xinitrc and the next time you do startx you will start with kde. Simillar way for other window managers. |
I'll venture a guess and say that xwmconfig is probably installed on your system. Run that, pick your choice,... done.
