I use icewm with kdm. to set it up as the default, you should edit the /etc/X11/xdm/kdmrc file and add icewm to the SessionTypes line. My SessionTypes line looks like this SessionTypes=icemw,default Then you need to edit Xsessions. I have included the relevant part to make icewm the default. # now, we see if xdm/gdm/kdm has asked for a specific environment case $# in 1) if [ -x /usr/share/apps/switchdesk/Xclients.$1 ]; then exec -l $SHELL -c "/usr/share/apps/switchdesk/Xclients.$1"; fi; case $1 in failsafe) exec -l $SHELL -c "xterm -geometry 80x24-0-0" ;; gnome) exec -l $SHELL -c "gnome-session" ;; icewm) xsess=$HOME/.xsession-icewm if [ -f $xsess ]; then exec $HOME/.xsession-icewm else exec icewm fi ;; kde|kde1|kde2) exec -l $SHELL -c "/usr/share/apps/switchdesk/Xclients.kde" ;; twm) # fall back to twm exec -l $SHELL -c "/usr/share/apps/switchdesk/Xclients.twm" ;; esac esac # otherwise, take default action if [ -x "$HOME/.xsession" ]; then exec -l $SHELL -c "$HOME/.xsession" elif [ -x "$HOME/.Xclients" ]; then exec -l $SHELL -c "$HOME/.Xclients" elif [ -x /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients ]; then # exec -l $SHELL -c "/etc/X11/xinit/Xclients" exec icewm else # should never get here; failsafe fallback exec -l $SHELL -c "xsm" fi as for setting it up, I strongly recommend you install the ice menu editor (iceme) and icepref. They allow you a graphical way to edit your menus and window manager options. The default icewm settings are in /usr/local/lib/X11/icewm/ HTH, Derek > > Thanks in advance. > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek > No, I will not fix your computer. > http://thinkgeek.com/sf > _____________________________________________________________________ > Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
