its really amazing that few people know about the small package Xtart. it allows you to choose your WM from the commandline. i like it better than booting to runlevel 5 (GUI) to select my WM. its in the installation CDs or you could just search it from rpmfind as it is a little file. I just installed fluxbox and it was automatically added to the list of WMs.
