Actually, that's not a stupid question. Lots of people (myself included) have
gotten stuck on that one. When I asked, the answer I got was a command with
an "-l" switch that showed you all the possibilities. Of course, I can't
remember the command off the top of my head. Argghhh. Maybe someone will
remember for me...?
Some aren't obvious. For instance, "startx Sawmill". If you use "startx
sawmill" (lower case) instead, X launches with icewm. Go figure...
