The alternatives system. ls -l /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager When each of the window manager packages are installed, they register using update-alternatives that they are a window manager, and when they are removed they deregister. They each have a weighting, but what tends to happen is the first package you installed is the default. You can alter the default yourself by using update-alternatives. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://spacepants.org/jaq.gpg -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
