I've never been good with thread titles . Anyway, I don't have any KDE related stuff on my machine, so the display manager I'm using is XDM. I have tried running xwmconfig and setting Fluxbox to be the default window manager, but this only appears to work (i.e. Fluxbox starts) if I boot into runlevel 3 and run startx. If I boot in runlevel 4 and log in, Xfce (which is what I've been using for a while) still loads, despite me having run xwmconfig.
You can edit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc and replace the last line that reads "startkde" with "exec /usr/X11R6/bin/startfluxbox" or whatever your path to fluxbox is.
Or go to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/, backup the original xinitrc and rename xinitrc.fluxbox to xinitrc.

But that's the same what the original xwmconfig does. I wonder why it didn't work for Nylex.
