I am trying to set up wmaker to be my default wm. When I log in through xdm I

Just install them. In your .xinitrc add the command to start whichever

will make gnome your session. Replace 'gnome-session

If you are not using gdm, perhaps you like xdm or whatever, but there is
another way. In each users home directory create an .xsession file. This
should be an executable shell script. In the script, put a line to run
whatever window manager you want for the user. Thus, for blackbox, use only

Hi Martin
If you use gdm (gnome desktop manager), it will promt each user logging
in for the session he wants (and asks if he wants this session for
default in future).
The sessions are defined in /etc/gdm/Sessions, and the system-wide
default session is a symlink /etc/gdm/Sessions/Defaults ->

If you want to set the default window manager you can do something like:
update-alternatives --config
In a previous release of Debian (Slink) there was a text file
(/etc/X11/window-managers) where you could write it your preferences about
which window manager run when there wasn't any .xinit or .xsession into
the home dir.
In potato you can modify the /etc/X11/Xsession or the
/usr/X11R6/bin/star

After updating to the latest "xserver-common" in frozen, X started up with fvwm
as the default window-manager. I´ve checked /etc/X11/window-managers and

See man xinit. You´ll have to make up a .xsession file starting

I have X installed and running fine, using xinit. When I start the X
