Hiya folks,

    I've been trying to switch the default window manager that X uses
and haven't had much luck. Might be some little OS X nuance I am
missing. Can anyone point me to a functional set of X dot files that the
know works with XDarwin and KDE (or the like) or just post the basic
entries I need to put into my files to specify the window manager? TWM
really sucks something awful.....

Thanks!

Heidi

BTW - I did compile KDE. It took freakin' forever so it would be nice to
be able to use it finally!

You only need to create a 2-line file ".xinitrc" in your home directory. For kde it would contain the 2 lines

source /sw/bin/init.sh
exec startkde

For gnome, you would use

source /sw/bin/init.sh
exec gnome-session

and for fvwm2, it would be

source /sw/bin/init.sh
exec fvwm2
