Hi,

I belive that the file is called .xserver or .xservers in your homedir,
but I am not sure.
Just type your windowmanager in here, and X will start with it. It might
not exist yet, but you can create it with 'echo fvwm95  .xserver'.

Greetz,
Sebastiaan

if you run update-alternatives --config x-window-manager, it will give you
the list and let you select what you want in the console.

~/.xinitrc controls which window manager is loaded by X11 on startup
