But what you want is some way to select which Window-Manager/Desktop to use. This can be achieved by using wmanager. If you start X using startx, you'll get a little menu, where you can choose from the Window-Managers, which are installed on the system. Note: by giving entries like gnome-session and the like, you can not only select Window-Managers but also different sessions! The package contains a sample .xsession file for your home-directory. Try to find it and use it. If you just put the wmanager command at the end of your .xsession file, X will exit right after startup (It is left as an exercise to the reader, to find out why (pretty logical)). Regards, Daniel
