The window manager should always be last too. Specifically, the last

Is there something wrong with using exec on an xterm, rather than a
window manager? I'm currently doing that which makes the duration of
an x session depend on the xterm rather than the window manager (which

Hi Paul,
Sorry to bother you again, but I found the file you said and checked it out
and it seemed okay. I also made changes to the .xinitrc file in my

xwindows loads up to the light blue background and then shuts down

Hi! I'm having problems running X Windows after installing it. There's no
default window manager after running 'startx' at the command prompt even
if I specified one during the installation, so I have to type whatever
window manager I want to use at the console after it starts up. Does

Hello Bryan,yes there is a file that has the windows manager information.
It also tells what order to start them in. But you can only have one
running at a time. Here is mine, it is in /etc/X11/windows-managers
