FVWM: Does fvwm2 depend on other window managers?
I was having trouble with fvwm2 so I rebuilt the system with no window manger. I then used yum to install fvwm2. Now I am having trouble starting fwmw. Do I need kde or some other window manager? Thank you for your time. Roger

If not: - create a ~/.xinitrc and add 'exec fvwm' - type in the console 'startx' If: - add in /usr/share/xsessions a fvwm.desktop file with the following content: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=FVWM Comment=ICCCM-compliant multiple virtual desktop window manager Exec=fvwm Terminal=False See also http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/FVWM Other good site: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/FVWM Cheers, Thomas
