Globally as root: # update-alternatives --config x-window-manager Then select /usr/bin/fvwm2 as the one with the highest priority. As a regular user: Check where fvwm2 is installed: $ type fvwm2 fvwm2 is /usr/bin/fvwm2 Edit $HOME/.xsession like that: $ cd $ cp .xsession .xsession.old $ echo '#!/bin/sh' > .xsession $ echo 'exec /usr/bin/fvwm2' >> .xsession $ chmod 755 .xsession If you are using xdm that's all. If you are using gdm, select Xsession as the login session. Jan -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
